A popular dating app, Tea, has reportedly exposed sensitive user data in a major security breach, raising concerns over privacy and cybersecurity.
The breach, which was discovered by cybersecurity researchers, allegedly left personal information—including names, email addresses, and even private messages—vulnerable to unauthorised access.
What Data Was Leaked?
According to reports, the following details may have been compromised:
- Full names
- Email addresses
- Profile pictures
- Private chat logs
- Location data
How Did This Happen?
Security experts suggest that the breach occurred due to inadequate data encryption and weak server protections. The app’s developers have since been notified, but it remains unclear how long the data was exposed.
What Should Users Do?
If you’ve used the Tea dating app, cybersecurity specialists recommend:
- Changing your passwords immediately.
- Enabling two-factor authentication where possible.
- Monitoring financial accounts for suspicious activity.
- Being cautious of phishing attempts via email or messages.
The incident highlights growing concerns over digital privacy, particularly in dating apps where users share intimate details.
