(Reuters) -tea, an application that allows women to comment on anonymously with men and review their dates, has undergone a data violation and enabled computer pirates to access 72,000 user images.

A tea spokesman confirmed that they have identified “unauthorized access to our systems” and revealed approximately 72,000 images, including 59,000 images from 13,000 self -identities and photo identities and photos, comments and direct messages sent for account verification purposes.

“We are busy with third -party cyber security experts and we work throughout the day to secure our systems.” He said.

Violation was first reported by 404 media Early on Friday.

Saying that the slogan is “should never compromise on security when leaving,” is a platform where women who are registered and approved after a verification process can share anonymous information about men that they are interested in fan -style investigations.
