Hackers steal images from women's dating safety app that vets men

Hackers breach dating safety app Tea, exposing 72,000 women's images and additional 59,000 app images with posts, comments, and direct messages. Tea allows women to conduct background checks on men, verify their identity, and share "red flag" behaviors anonymously. The app, founded in 2022 by Sean Cook, aims to protect women from online dating risks, but faces criticism for potentially putting men at risk of privacy invasion and defamation. Despite the breach, Tea states steps are being taken to safeguard its community.
