Tea has been compromised

VerdictX · 2025-07-25T17:31:12+00:00

Hilarious. It was the verification photos that were leaked, not the men posted to my knowledge. Also it wasn't even a hack, Tea apparently stored the files in public on the cloud lmao

All these girlies had their driver's licenses, identities and selfies exposed. Almost like the exact thing they were doing to men on the app. Karmic justice at its finest.

compmanio36 · 2025-07-25T17:26:18+00:00

Aww, are the ladies upset that they might be doxxed and their privacy invaded? Welcome to the club. Hoisted upon their own petard.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander

Ulferas · 2025-07-25T17:34:15+00:00

The irony is lost on them. The people using this app are terrible people who will never do any self-reflection on their own behavior.

MaleEducation1 · 2025-07-25T17:24:43+00:00

From what I understand the Driver's Licenses of the women are now avalaible for download (59.3 GB) as well.

Edit 1: Now that I look from the official announcement from Tea, it seems not everything has been breached. Looks like 72,000 images: 13,000 images of selfies and photo identification as well as 59,000 public images from post, comments, and direct messages.

It seems this was a legacy system, so this data is probably older (2+ years) and not the latest.

I'll look for further developments.

Edit 2:

It like there are just 13,000 selfies so I assume just ~13,000 users, which seems feasible for 2+ years ago.

Looks like the app was launched quietly on January 12 2023.

The app is said to have 1.6 million users in July 2025, with 0.9 million join requests. It reached 500,000 mark in March 2025, so it's rapid growth was a recent phenomena.

Looks like the leak wasn't really that big unfortunately, but hopefully the data we have can be of use to someone.

MaleEducation1 · 2025-07-25T17:37:39+00:00

Lol TwoX seems to be having a meltdown over it.

They are are also saying how it was "created" and "run" by a man, not realizing that ~95% of the software in existnce is literally built by men.

Peppeperoni · 2025-07-25T17:34:34+00:00

Oh my - how unfortunate

Being doxxed? Awwwwww if it isn’t the consequences of their actions

Pretend-Principle694 · 2025-07-25T17:48:15+00:00

If you were so stupid that you thought you could put pictures of yourself (and I presume personal info) on some weird app that (you likely knew) would inspire moral outrage and not at least have some consequences happen, then you deserve the consequences of whatever stupid ass mistakes you make. It's like running out into the freeway and getting shocked when you get hit by a car LMAO

FoundationFit5751 · 2025-07-25T18:13:48+00:00

I sent them a cease and desist letter yesterday for having my copyrighted pictures on there, inflammatory information, and pictures of my kids. I plan on taking them to small claims court. They have to prove what is being said is true if they don’t take it down in 72 hours like I demanded.

_WutzInAName_ · 2025-07-25T18:03:34+00:00

This is good news. The leaked info can be used as supporting evidence by law firms in the flood of lawsuits against those who engaged in illegal activities including defamation and privacy violations via that app. Karma’s a bitch.

Mayhem52 · 2025-07-25T17:36:56+00:00

They stored all of the data in publicly available space. The app creators have no concern for data security

pm_me_your_passw0d · 2025-07-25T17:48:49+00:00

Where can I find the leak? I want to see if anyone said something about me.

KobeBean · 2025-07-25T17:42:54+00:00

“The information was stored in accordance with law enforcement requirements related to cyber-bullying investigations” - do those requirements include putting users DL and verification photos in a no auth required publicly accessible storage bucket?

I made a post here about this but it isn't showing up, are the mods trying to hide this for whatever reason?

Chewiemuse · 2025-07-25T18:20:31+00:00

Can someone give me a rundown on this I’m totally lost lol

kmikek · 2025-07-25T18:56:28+00:00

Its cyber bullying when it happens to them, but isnt when they do it to others?

Islanderwithwings · 2025-07-25T17:54:59+00:00

This is like reverse Ashley Madison.

My sources sends me images of the comments sections since you can't screenshot it.

The original intent was to falsely accused men again (Me too version 5) hidden around the layer of "protect yourself ladies". Then it turned into a Bad boy finder dating app lol.

DifficultPapaya3038 · 2025-07-25T18:28:09+00:00

W hackers

Darthwxman · 2025-07-25T20:08:09+00:00

I wonder if a male version of this app would even be allowed to exist. Like men could really benefit from other men identifying which girls/women are crazy and/or prone to make bogus allegations. Feminist though would probably attack anything that allowed men to discuss women anonymously the be inherently misogynistic and would claim it threatened the safety of women somehow.

PossibleFlatworm220 · 2025-07-25T21:24:47+00:00

The doxxer becomes the doxed. I love it.

KalashnikovParty · 2025-07-25T18:57:26+00:00

They probably should’ve thought of that before doxxing and publicly shaming innocent men who really didn’t do anything wrong

IlIIlIIIlIl · 2025-07-25T20:36:09+00:00

How many men are compromised with defamatory lies spewed on this garbage app?

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

Keilanm · 2025-07-25T21:16:51+00:00

Time for the coffee app that flags anybody who uses tea.

Aaaaaaaaand

They got what they deserved.

oldhellenyeller · 2025-07-25T20:13:44+00:00

How the turntables! Users of an app built to dox others getting doxxed themselves!

mjcolayman3394 · 2025-07-25T20:19:20+00:00

It's hilarious how women are all for this app; but, if there was a counterpart where men could rate women in bed, share how much it cost/how many dates it took, and what they were into to help other men fuck...then all the women would be outraged.

Kyra92Hayes · 2025-07-25T20:29:05+00:00

I hope they get sued

UltramanGinga · 2025-07-25T20:29:30+00:00

Fucking hilarious 😂. Serves them right.

HonestlyKindaOverIt · 2025-07-25T17:57:39+00:00

We have no choice but to stan whoever is behind this. Honestly, bravo. All the women who downloaded this app kind of deserve it tbh. Let the red flags fly high so that men know who to avoid.

nft-red · 2025-07-25T20:49:37+00:00

The ids show its all women who are ugly weighing over 250 lbs and below 5.3 ft

SonOfObed89 · 2025-07-25T18:30:15+00:00

Wtf is TeaForWomen.com?! Is it a service for creating profiles of men that women collaborate on?

Excuse my ignorance.

antifeminist3 · 2025-07-25T19:38:00+00:00

'Selfies'

Nope, that word creates the false appearance that men's photos were created and uploaded by men.

Specialist-Cheek1890 · 2025-07-25T17:27:26+00:00

Now they will get sued but not by men. They just doxxed women

tilldeathdoiparty · 2025-07-25T18:36:07+00:00

I was expecting legal action, but this will work.

AigisxLabrys · 2025-07-25T18:45:52+00:00

My reaction

TastyMulberry7662 · 2025-07-25T18:55:22+00:00

So was the stored data what they were giving to law enforcement when subpoenas weee requested? Or was it the Tea has involved law enforcement and giving them info about the breach?

FlappyBiscuitz · 2025-07-25T19:07:48+00:00

This is my first time even learning about this app lol

ThePiachu · 2025-07-25T19:14:21+00:00

I wonder how the GDPR and EU in general will take them over the coals for this one!

Bullfrog3303 · 2025-07-25T19:29:24+00:00

Does the leak include photos of men?

wroubelek · 2025-07-25T19:34:57+00:00

Who the hell keeps account verification photos for 2 years, and unencrypted at that? 😳

DMs? Gimme a break.

Lol, who could've imagined.

Literally everyone predicted this.

And looks like clownfish was right about the images being stored.

Fuck yeah, great news

Traditional-Ad-9611 · 2025-07-25T22:25:42+00:00

Dang right as we my girlfriend and I were getting an account to gather info that was leaked about me to potentially sue my crazy ex

Visual_Buddy_4743 · 2025-07-26T00:52:35+00:00

Oh noo so sad /s

chickenjoe · 2025-07-25T21:02:15+00:00

Just a heads up, if you’ve seen leaked selfies or IDs floating around, don’t get clever or shady with them. It might feel tempting to retaliate or get “justice,” but there’s a line — and once you cross it, you’re the one doing harm (and potentially facing serious legal fallout).

Here’s what you should definitely not do — even if it sounds “creative” or like something you’d just do to blow off steam:

❌ Don’t send their info to Indian scam centers, AI image farms, or shady Telegram channels
❌ Don’t upload their ID to data poisoning services or submit it to facial recognition scrapers
❌ Don’t try to mess with their credit or sign them up for fraudulent accounts
❌ Don’t stitch together fake DMs, screenshots, or fake chat logs for clout
❌ Don’t feed their info into “karma traps” — like signing them up for spiritual scams, cult newsletters, or phishing funnels
❌ Don’t try to "erase their digital footprint" by reporting all their accounts to get them banned — that’s digital harassment
❌ Don’t bait them into replying to fake accounts just so you can screenshot and twist it
❌ Don’t submit their ID or face to deepfake platforms for “future use” or “jokes” — even if it never gets published

Bottom line: once you start repurposing someone’s personal info to scare, humiliate, or punish them, you’ve crossed into defamation, impersonation, harassment, and in some cases, criminal privacy violations.

This stuff lives forever online. Not just for them — for you too. You can be sued or charged, even if you thought it was a “meme.”

If you want justice, pursue truth. If you want peace, don’t add more poison to the well.

DirkKeggler · 2025-07-25T19:01:42+00:00

One almost has to wonder if this was intentional; what a brilliant honey pot if so.
