TeaOnHer, a rival Tea app for men, is leaking users’ personal data and driver’s licenses


The newly launched app, now trending on Apple's App Store, contains at least one major security flaw that exposes the private information of its users, including their uploaded selfies and government-issued IDs.

The backlash surrounding Tea escalated last week, after 404 Media reported 4chan users retaliated by discovering a publicly exposed database belonging to the app, which revealed over 72,000 images, including thousands of selfies and photo IDs submitted for account verification. TechCrunch also identified a potential second security issue, in which an email address and plaintext password belonging to the app’s creator, Lampkin, was left exposed on the server. Other posts share the photos and names of women, alongside comments calling them “easy,” or accusing them of spreading sexually transmitted infections.
