A massive data breach involving the Tea App has compromised the privacy of thousands of women, after hackers leaked more than 72,000 images, many of them personal selfies and official IDs, onto internet forums including 4Chan.
The breach, which involved unauthorised access to an older legacy database, has raised serious concerns about data protection on platforms designed to offer online safety. Tea, originally marketed as a women-only safe space for sharing dating red flags, is now grappling with the fallout of what appears to be a targeted 'hack and leak' campaign.
