Tea Dating Advice app has users’ private messages disclosed

Tea Dating Advice experienced two distinct breaches: a legacy storage breach exposing ~72,000 images (including verification IDs) and a separate database leak of over 1.1 million private messages that revealed sensitive PII and private conversations; a researcher validated the messaging exposure and images from the first breach were shared on 4chan. The company reports it has fixed the issue and engaged third-party security, but affected users face elevated risks of doxxing, phishing, and identity misuse.
