Tea Dating Advice, an app for women to anonymously discuss men they've dated, is facing multiple federal class-action lawsuits following a data breach. The breach exposed users' government IDs, including full names and addresses. Users accuse the company of inadequate safeguards and failure to provide timely notice of the breach. Founded in 2023, the app enables users to conduct background checks on dates and rate their experiences, but has raised privacy concerns. The hack was linked to uploads by users on a 4chan forum.
The app, which marketed itself as a sanctuary where women could anonymously warn each other about dangerous men, instead became the very threat it promised to protect against.
The women allege the company failed to properly safeguard their personally identifiable information after images of users' government IDs containing their full names and addresses were leaked online.
Founded in 2023, the Teaapp allows users to perform criminal background checks on potential dates and rate dates with green flags and red flags.
The hack was first reported by 404 Media, which said users on the online forum 4chan claimed to have uploaded the images of women and their IDs to the site.
