Tea, the Women’s Dating Gossip App Riddled With Security Vulnerabilities, Remains #3 on the US iPhone App Store


Tea remains a chart-topping app in the App Store, but isn’t listed at all in Play Store top lists.

Tea, unsurprisingly, has almost nothing on their website about the security violations their users have suffered, nor any mention in their App Store listing. Their FAQ only addresses the initial discovery from last week, not the more significant one that 404 Media publicized Monday that included the exposure of DMs. I strongly suspect that, although Google hasn’t removed Tea from the Play Store, they’ve delisted it from discovery other than by searching for it by name or following a direct link to its listing.
