Founder created women-only Tea app, now hacked by 4chan user, after mom’s online dating scare
Sean Cook founded the anonymous dating review app Tea after his mother’s horrible dating experience, involving catfishing and people with criminal backgrounds.
The Tea dating app, designed as a women-only safety platform, is facing intense backlash after a major data breach exposed 72,000 user images. The leak, reportedly shared on 4chan, includes verification selfies and government IDs.
Tea, an app where women can swap information about men, went viral this week, riding a flood of attention on social media. It soon rocketed to the No. 1 slot in the Apple App Store’s lifestyle category, and then, promptly, the app was hacked.
