Hackers steal images from women's dating safety app that vets men

The app has recently experienced a surge in popularity - as well as criticism from some who claim it is anti-men. Tea lets women check whether potential partners are married or registered sex offenders as well as run reverse image searches to protect against "catfishing", where people use fake online identities. But one of the most controversial aspects of Tea is that it allows women to share information on men they have dated to "avoid red flags" but also highlight those with "green flag" qualities. The company said the breached photos "can in no way be linked to posts within Tea". The firm blocks screenshots so that posts are not shared outside the app.
