“DRIVERS LICENSES AND FACE PICS! GET THE FUCK IN HERE BEFORE THEY SHUT IT DOWN!” the thread read before being deleted.

Users from 4chan claim to have discovered an exposed database hosted on Google’s mobile app development platform, Firebase, belonging to the newly popular women’s dating safety app Tea. Users say they are rifling through peoples’ personal data and selfies uploaded to the app, and then posting that data online, according to screenshots, 4chan posts, and code reviewed by 404 Media.

    Wow that was fast.

    I did not even know this app existed untill about 8 hours ago.

    Already comprimised.

    EDIT: Also, lol, this arguably is not even largely a hack.

    These idiots just had everything stored in a fucking publically accesible firebase bucket… amazing.

    They didn’t delete anything they claimed to.

    Either way you look at it, anywhere on the spectrum from:

    A ] A bunch of women reasonably concerned for their safety

    B ] A bunch of gossip mongers

    … well, they’ve now all been doxxed, ironic from each angle.

    What a fucking disaster.
