The Tea App Hack: How a “Safe” Space Leaked 13,000 ID Photos & 1.1M Messages
In this episode we're discussing the alarming breach of the Tea app, a platform intended for women to share dating experiences. The hack resulted in the exposure of over 13,000 government ID photos, 72,000 user images, and over a million private messages due to poor security practices. We'll discuss the role of sloppy coding, an exposed database, and the lack of security discipline that led to this massive leak. Join us as we explore insights from a cybersecurity researcher who disassembled the app's source code, the ensuing legal and privacy repercussions, and the broader implications for app security.
