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.
Yeah, naming it “Tea” is really the cherry on top. I’d love to know more about the people behind this. It’s hard to believe that anybody would be this oblivious. I guess the same kind of people who wouldn’t secure their database.
