The Viral 'Tea' App Just Had a Second Data Breach, and It's Even Worse
The viral app Tea, where women are invited to review the men in their lives, has just suffered a second data breach. According to the company, last week's breach included data that was two years old. This week's breach includes direct messages from a week ago.
At the time, a spokesperson for Tea Dating Advice, Inc. confirmed to me that the app, "identified unauthorized access to one of [its] systems and immediately launched a full investigation to assess the scope and impact." While Tea encourages users to create anonymous usernames, 404 Media reported it wasn't hard to tie at least a few of the messages back to real-life people. And inarguably, the fact that thousands of women's photos and private messages were stored in such an insecure way by Tea that they have been exposed in multiple data breaches is definitely a very bad thing.
