Tea Dating Advice, an app designed as a safe space for women to anonymously discuss men they’ve dated, faces mounting legal challenges after a data breach last month exposed users’ personal information and images.

A data breach of the Tea app recently exposed users' selfies, IDs, and private messages. Cybersecurity experts say it demonstrates broader issues.

Tea, a women's dating safety app that recently surged to the top of the free iOS App Store listings, suffered a major security breach last week. The company confirmed Friday that it "identified authorized access to one of our systems" that exposed thousands of user images. And now we know that DMs were accessed during the breach, too.
