Last week saw a data breach with women's dating safety app Tea, and today, @npub1psar...j5uh reports on a second — an independent security researcher told the reporting team of @npub1l76q...cve4 and @Joseph Cox that they were able to access messages between users discussing abortions and cheating partners, as well as phone numbers they exchanged. Tea is a "whisper network" where women can check out and share information with other women on the men they are in a relationship with or considering dating. "It’s hard to overstate how sensitive this data is and how it could put Tea’s users at risk if it fell into the wrong hands," write the 404 team, who say it was straightforward to find the real-world identities of some users based on the nature of their messages.
