The backlash surrounding Tea escalated last week, after 404 Media reported 4chan users retaliated by discovering a publicly exposed database belonging to the app, which revealed over 72,000 images, including thousands of selfies and photo IDs submitted for account verification. A subsequent hack exposed more than 1 million private messages sent over the app, prompting the app to disable its messaging feature.
But like the app it sought to emulate, TeaOnHer contains security flaws of its own.
TechCrunch has found at least one security flaw that allows anyone access to data belonging to TeaOnHer app users, including their usernames and associated email addresses, as well as driver’s licenses and selfies that users uploaded to TeaOnHer. Images of these driver’s licenses are publicly accessible web addresses, allowing anyone with the links to access them using their web browser.
