Images stolen from women’s dating safety app that vets men
A flirt safety application, which enables women to conduct background controls on men and share anonymously “red flag” behavior, was attacked by revealing the images, publications and comments of thousands of members.
The Tea Dating advice, which is an application for women based only for women with 1.6 million users, said that there is “unauthorized access to 72,000 images sent by women.
Some include images of women holding photographic identity for the purpose of verification of “immediately deleted” after Tea’s promises of privacy policy.
TEA added that the violation was “quickly moving” and “working with some of the most reliable cyber security experts”.
The application has recently experienced an increase in popularity – also criticism of some claiming to be anti -male.
The TEA allows women to check if potential partners are married or registered sex criminals, and make inverse appearance search to protect against “cats”, which people use false online identities.
However, one of the most controversial aspects of tea is that women allow them to share information about the men they go out to “avoid red flags”, but also emphasize those with “green flags” qualities.
The company said, “No way can be linked to the tasks in tea,” the company said.
The company blocks screenshots, so that broadcasts are not shared except for application.
However, on Friday, more than two years ago, he admitted that 59,000 additional images were accessed from the application showing broadcasts, comments and direct messages.
“We take every step to protect this community – now and always.”
BBC News contacted Tea for a comment.
The company was founded in November 2022 by Sean Cook, a software engineer who said that he inspired his mother’s online flirting experiences after he witnessed his online flirting experiences.
In May, I was shocked to Medium: “I was shocked how easy it was to benefit from women in flirting practices of the catfish, scammers and criminals and how little traditional dating practices to protect users.”
However, some men – and women – challenged such groups, claiming that they had exposed men to the risk of confidentiality and slander invasion.
Earlier this year, a person named Nikko D’Embrosio, “Is the same Guyiz come with” in a conversation group because of a series of statements against Facebook’s owner META made legal action.
The case was fired by a federal judge in Illinois.
