- Tea app, designed exclusively for women, suffered a massive data breach.
- Users' personal data, including identification proofs, was stored on a public server without password protection.
- 4chan users discovered and shared links to the publicly accessible data, compromising all users' information.
- The app required women to verify their identity by uploading IDs, leading to exposure of sensitive data.
- Nearly 60GB of selfies and personal IDs were leaked, with no comment yet from Tea on the breach.
- The breach contradicts the app's purpose of providing a secure dating advice platform for women.
