Women dating safety app 'Tea' breached, users' IDs posted to 4chan

• duxup 1y ago
  A flash in the pan gossip app that when it functions normally is not worried about anyone's privacy / accuracy ... also doesn't care about good policies or their user's privacy. That seems about right.
  • darth_avocado 1y ago
    You could say that the *Tea has been spilt*
  • JohnMakin 1y ago
    Painting this as a "gossip" app seems extraordinarily reductive. Women have a good incentive to share info about and to one another for safety beyond "gossip."
    • duxup 1y ago
      Go checkout the website, the first image is just two people gossiping. This app operates just like an app some creep online would use, people post pictures (permission or not) and gossip about them.
    • jahewson 1y ago
      There’s also a ton of bad incentives for those women who lie, manipulate and abuse beyond “gossip”.
      • ryandv 1y ago
        Yeah? What are they?
        • chneu 1y ago
          Attention. Revenge. Blackmail. Victimhood personality types. There are plenty of examples of people making things up about other people who they thought wronged them. Mob justice is really disgusting, and that's all this site is. People justify horribly vindictive behavior when they think they're righting a perceived wrong.

      Is it reductive? It also has good incentive for someone jilted or misinterpreting something to suddenly tarnish someone's reputation with little recourse for the other party. It is a one-sided review app for people in a way that people affected may never even know!
    • BizarroLand 1y ago
      If guys had an app that women couldn't access where we shit talked all of our exes with photo evidence women would riot at the company HQ. But then again, can't convince people as a whole that men are, on average, good and decent people with normal flaws just like women, and therefore deserve to be protected, loved, and appreciated equally.

          We banned that account. But that comment and others like it are being heavily downvoted and flagged, more than enough to be killed and to alert us to users who need to be banned. You've been running this rage-filled campaign against HN for months, the most extreme comments of which I've listed below. It all seems very pointless; all the comments you were raging against were downvoted and flagged/killed by other users. The comment of yours that you complained was being downvoted actually ended up receiving enough upvotes to return to a positive score. If you don't want to use HN as intended we'll ban the account, which it seems perhaps is what you want us to do. However you've also posted some good comments that have received solid numbers of upvotes and good replies, so if you wanted to lean more into the positive contributions, we'd be pleased to see that. We're well aware there are plenty of objectionable comments on HN; we have to read almost all of them. But the guidelines are clear, and the feedback mechanisms work well when people use them. Plenty of users play a positive role in keeping HN running well by quietly flagging bad comments and alerting us to bad users via email. We'd appreciate you doing the same. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44370495 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44370495 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44045701 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44045701 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44024525 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44024525 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42877363 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42877363

  How is this user data even reliable or useful when someone can make fake personas and populate their activity with LLMs? Drivers licenses can be faked. Moreover, someone can just pretend to be someone else on this app with real drivers licenses. The whole premise, implementation and process of Tea as a social media app is flawed, and a legal liability for the devs.

      I don't disagree, but there are most certainly other perpetrators of identity theft out there. Not sure any of them would bother using it to sign up for something as niche and unprofitable as an account on Tea.

        It's concern trolling, they don't sincerely believe it, they're trying to make the people they don't like stupid.
  • tamimio 1y ago
    I hope it served as a good lesson to the average person to be more cautious while submitting sensitive information like a government ID. Just because it's an app with a nice UI doesn't mean it's secure, let alone trustworthy regarding who owns it. Last week I was contacting a government agency here in Canada and the support team requested a government ID to be shared over email, which is anything but a secure communication. I tried to share it as a link to my vault, but they refused, so now either I will have to go in person or they will find another way in the meantime. The internet went from 'YouTube asking users to never use your real name' to 'you have to submit your ID to some random app' in 10 years. Crazy!

    • jabjq 1y ago
      I’ve seen multiple posts online posted by guys showing screenshots. The screenshots would show texts sent to those guys by girls saying that they’ve seen the guys on Tea and that they won’t have any more dates because of what they’ve seen. It all stinks to high heaven.
      • subjectsigma 1y ago
        Isn’t that… exactly what the app is advertising? I don’t understand why you think those screenshots are fake.
        • jabjq 1y ago
          I think the screenshots are fake because I’ve been using the internet for very long and I know how publicity campaigns work. For starters, men with hundreds of thousands of followers have no reason to post a screenshot that shows that women have used an app to report them as creeps. That the kind of thing that belongs in a police report, not in a public social network where you’re trying to build your brand.

  With all this talk about age verification, I have to wonder if the complete lack of security was intentional.

        That feels like a hell of a risk to take just to get a conversation started. Not just the obvious implications of endangering all the users, but the cloud that's going to hang over everyone associated with Tea, now.

    This. Appropriate regulation should make this an offense punishable by a large fine. There is almost no consequence to companies for bad practices. Ideally you'd see fines in the 10%s of revenue. In egregious cases (gross negligence) like this, you should be able to go outside the LLC and recoup from equity holders' personal assets. Alas, if only we had consumer protections.

        Even if only a few women are abusive and gossiping, they will doxx a lot of innocent men. At that stage, that entire app should be treated as illegal and shut down, instead of hoping that Apple legal will find the time to settle each complaint. The entire app is a toxically bigoted concept that gets a pass because the term 'women's safety' is attached to it.
        • chneu 1y ago
          I'm failing to see how this app is legal. States like Arizona have recently passed anti doxxing laws. Posting any information on this app with the intent of social pressure, harassment, etc is illegal in those states. At the very least, the app itself might be legal using the "public forum" argument but the content posted on there definitely leaves the users in a legal gray area. I can see the argument on both sides but this is asking for a case to be brought just so the law can be fleshed out.

      • mikestew 1y ago
        One could say that about any company (because "fiduciary duty", amirite?). "Don't let Toyota's 'reliable car at a reasonable price' marketing fool you, they're all about money." Yeah, but does that preclude them from selling me an actually reliable car at a reasonable price?
        • bitpush 1y ago
          But when a company makes moral arguments ("We're better than others because of X") the bar goes up. If Toyota says that we're the car company that cares about you, we want to keep you safe from the bad actors, and trust us on making right choices for you - and when you discover Toyota has been secretly building out an ad network, in bed with Chinese government, you have to call them out. And that's what Apple is doing. Privacy is a human right, except in China where they are happy to go along with what the government wants. Google atleast had the balls to pack up and leave the country.

  Isn't this basically Peeple except gender locked to women? Peeple failed because they couldn't eliminate bias and gossip against anyone. If someone was jealous of another, for example, that person could just write false slander and claim it was real with no evidence. That would have affected the victim for jobs, dates, etc. So it was laughed at by VCs and everyone online and it shut down. How is Tea even legal? Isn't this just a legal libel timebomb waiting to happen?

  Some observations: - The fact that this app exists solidifies the data that a small group of men/women do most of the dating on tinder etc while the vast majority land dates far less if none at all. - This creates distorted market supply and demand where those small group of men/women become sought after and its only human nature in that they value their supply less than the rest. - Toxic behavior is expected from that small group of highly attractive people that do all the dating. - It was only a matter of time before such app would run into legal issues or attract angry individuals. Now the damage to the leaked identities will be prolonged. With the AI tech today, the extent to which a damage can be doned with the information from the leaks is unknown. - As for the company behind Tea, they are done. They face a monumental class action lawsuit as well as ongoing individual civil/criminal cases that will arise from the leaked identities, in particular the photo of driver licenses as well as selfies, usernames, emails drastically increase the surface area for damages. - The users of this site and those that have directly posted images, details have opened themselves up to significant liability from not only the men they have targeted but from law enforcement. - We'll see some new laws being formed from this case. Once again, we see the hidden dangers of blindly trusting large popular platforms with sensitive data but the twist with Tea here is the defamation activity that opens up its users to both civil and criminal liability.

      You need to verify you're a woman with some form of ID before you can get into the app. Faking an ID and a picture can't be that difficult in the age of AI (especially not when the company that's supposed to verify you is this callous with their users' PII), but it's not as quick and easy as you suggest.

Given these apps were probably popular in large city centers like California, NY have heavy punishment for digital harassment and privacy violations on top of the damages that can be claimed against them by the men who's information and details were posted. - Tea is largely insulated from what the users post which means that their biggest exposure might be just neglect and failure to secure data which comes with a slap on the wrist. Which will make it harder for Tea's userbase to claim large damages against it. I read more details about this case and its beyond egregious. Unencrypted firebase and full public buckets. There is no hacking involved, the tokens were being used to pull data from roughly all 30,000 users of Tea and were only blocked short while ago. Allegedly, 60GB of photos, user personal information, driver license, gps data being shared on torrent. A map of all 30,000 users tied to GPS data is being posted as well. Given the extreme neglect to secure their data, I now believe Tea will be open to even bigger legal liability possibly criminal even.

      I agree that you could make a Tea app for every faction's favorite cause, and use "safety" as the justification: report your local communist, report your local infidel, report your local secret white supremacist, report your local secret Western imperialism agent, report your local suspected jihadi, report a homosexual, report a suspected illegal immigrant, report a local adulterer, report an apostate, report a kulak.. etc. chefkiss Witch Hunt as a Service, with a delightful UX, a little gamification, and soon integration with your favorite apps.

• tonymet 1y ago
  Maybe this is a good time to think about what policy could help discourage these horrific practices (it sounds like their storage was unprotected) * App Store review requires a lightweight security audit / checklist on the backend protections. * App Store CTF Kill Switch. Publisher has to share a private CTF token with Apple with a public name (e.g. /etc/apple-ctf-token ). The app store can automatically kill the app if the token is ever breached. * Publisher is required to include their own sensitive records ( access to a high-value bank account) within their backend . Apple audits that these secrets are in the same storage as the consumer records.
  • tonymet 1y ago
    * Mandate 3rd party auditing once an app reaches > 10k users * App publishing process includes signatures that the publisher must embed in their database. When those signatures end up on the dark web, App Store is notified and the App is revoked
    • fn-mote 1y ago
      > * Mandate 3rd party auditing once an app exceeds 10k users You have a lot of interesting suggestions. I would love to see some kind of forced transparency. Too bad back-end code doesn’t run under any App/Play Store control, so it’s harder to force an (accurate) audit.
      • tonymet 1y ago
        thanks. Yeah I think there are a lot of ways to decouple App store from publisher and auditor . That way the publisher can retain autonomy / control , while still developing trust with the consumer. We could do better in our trade at encouraging best practices in this space. Every time there's a breach , the community shames the publisher . But the real shame is on us for not establishing better auditing protocols. Security best practices are just the start. You have to have transparent, ongoing auditing and pen-testing to sustain it.
      • tonymet 1y ago
        also i remember maybe Facebook trying to do this when they acquired Parse. For a while they were promoting developers host their backends on Parse / FB . The idea has merit. You have to relinquish some control to establish security. Look at App Store, Microsoft Store , MacOS App store -- they all sandbox and reduce API scope in order to improve security for consumers. I'm more on the side of autonomy and trust, but then we have reckless developers doing stuff like this, putting the whole industry on watch.

        Great suggestion, very practical and well intentioned. On that note, I had another idea; toxic women should stop associating with men. They should take themselves off the dating apps and stop ruining the lives of any men that might be unfortunate enough to pair up with them. My suggestion is just as practical as your suggestion I think. The toxic women can self-identify and voluntarily exclude themselves just as well as the creepy men.
        • chneu 1y ago
          >They should take themselves off the dating apps Then they can't complain about how horrible people are. Unfortunately, being a victim is a large part of many people's personalities. This is especially true for the "chronically single" people on dating apps. It's never their fault people don't want to date them! It's everyone else who is horrible. Years ago when I was on the apps and went on dates it was obvious who these people were. They rarely actually go on dates because every person they match with is a predator to them. Then, if an actual date happened, it would quickly go nowhere because they're treating you as if you're a predator. The whole vibe with these people is awkward and judgmental. Then folks wonder why their dating app experience is bad.

    There's no objection, but it doesn't work because men compete while women collude. This has evolutionary origins. A man can, theoretically, father around a thousand children or more in the time it takes a woman to bear one. Sperm are cheap so those who need sperm (i.e. women) don't need to fight with each other. There's plenty to go around. Eggs are scarce so males of myriad species fight each other to the death over them. It's just biology.

    Here are some statistics for you to consider: * Out of every 1,000 sexual assaults, approximately 310 are reported to the police. * Of those reported, only about 13 cases are referred to a prosecutor. * Ultimately, only about 7 cases lead to a felony conviction. * For every 100 rapes reported, only 18 result in an arrest. * Fewer than 7% of reported rape cases lead to a conviction. * In some studies, the conviction rate for rape has been reported as low as 3.2% in certain jurisdictions.

If you could imagine what girls and women go through, some on a daily basis, for years, since childhood, I think you might have a better understanding of why a "gossip app" might actually be a pretty sensible option for avoiding sexual assault and worse.
    • mystraline 1y ago
      And as a man, do you know what happens when you report sexual assault? You get laughed at. Hard. So yeah, I'd like to see these broken down between cis-, hetero-, homo-, and trans-. And why are cis-lesbian-women also reporting higher numbers of sexual assault than man/woman relationship? No men in that relationship. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5511765/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5511765/ The rainn articles are propaganda with a specific slant.

    There’s nothing Apple can really do about backend security of apps. Conceivably these storage endpoints might’ve never been directly exposed to mobile clients, instead going through other proxies or CDNs.
    • chneu 1y ago
      I think what they meant is that Apple is allowing a legally dubious app to operate. Not that apple should enforce minimum security, but that the app shouldn't be allowed on the App Store in the first place. For obvious reasons. Supposedly, if your photo is posted on Tea you can contact Apple. Then Apple will force Tea to take your information down.
      • SilverElfin 1y ago
        But how would you know your photo or any slander is even on there? From what I heard, the app requires a photo and video based verification through a third party service to determine if you’re a woman (which itself seems problematic). Without that access you wouldn’t even know if your information is on there.
        • goku12 1y ago
          IMO, you don't need individual grievances to shut down that app. A lot of the content has already been leaked - some even by women who don't necessarily agree with the method. And there are a lot of complaints based on them. Many don't even need you to know the background of the men to know that they are toxic and unethical (and probably illegal as well). Cases like 'ghosting after a single date', 'not good in bed', something else equally frivolous or a lot of one-sided narratives. What do all these have to do with 'women's safety', as much as they have to do with men's safety? A lot of men are genuinely weary of dating precisely because of those (I'm talking about men who prefer relationships, not the MGTOW types). This is extremely harmful to the society in general. I believe that these platforms are misusing the 'women's safety' argument to exploit corporate bias in order to circumvent anti-doxxing safeguards and reinforce a very toxic culture.

      I think there is a stupid propensity to overcorrect in the mainstream media about polarizing issues for profit which has been normalized by repeated messaging and has spread into our normal lives like a disease. Violence again women is very real and men have been the main inflictors of it. However violence against men isn't physical because just biology. So it takes more insidious forms which combined with expectations of masculinity makes it so much more worse. If we chose to selectively condemn the former kind of visible violence without protesting the more hidden kind, it is equally toxic as condoning violence against women. Proudly lauding an app that enables scaling up of this kind of toxicity without any recourse by giving women carte blanche is another form of extremism.

That's precisely my point. > Most (by far) CVE's are not 'honest mistakes' or missed corner cases because rocket-science; they are just sloppy programming. This is actually true, but it's true because we have way better tooling and safer languages, which means we don't see nearly as many buffer overflows or memory management issues. It's not that you didn't have negligent programmers back then. > Something that should never pass review. We DO know better but people ship things and hope for the best (including the case in this post etc). That's not new though. We've seen similar things happen in the past multiple times. 20 years ago code review was literally a bunch of meetings in a room or talk with another developer in person. Having something like github where you make a pull request, passes the automated test suite and requires a code review, etc. simply wasn't done. If in 2005 that already existed it was extremely bleeding edge. I do have concerns about the code quality issues introduced by the abuse of LLMs, but until right before that was a thing, definitely the code quality in general has improved a lot.

  On X, one of the leaked pictures seemed to be a DoD ID card, and I wondered why Tea needed proof of someone's identity. Then I remembered Uber and Lime both want your drivers license. Facebook and Instagram supposedly request it too if your account gets locked. This is not a new normal I like.

  That "Tea" app seems like a real GDPR nightmare anyway.

  It's almost poetic that this happens on the same day UK demands website to collect personal identification. I'm looking forward to the shitshow in the upcoming months.

  For all the gloating in here about doxxers getting doxxed, there sure are a lot of HN accounts exposing themselves as utter creeps in here.

  I would not be disappointed if some actual hacking was done to bring down the entire app. I don't think the Tea app realizes just how many competent people dislike them, and they clearly have very few competent people of their own.

  Gentlemen, we're working on a new app called Eyeroll. It's a revolutionary new dating app, where our users can rate the women they have dated based on favorable and/or unfavorable attributes. Every month, our marketing team will generate a scoreboard of profiles that score highest on all mainstream attributes, and our search and filter function will rival that of Amazon (including the much requested sort by lowest first.) We're seeking $23-to-$23.5 million in funding to get our product over the finish line.

  This reminds me of people saying "a honest person has nothing to hide". A honest woman who has nothing to hide, would post stories under her name and write her address, GPS coordinates and phone number in case someone needs clarifications or has objections to the post.

  To be fair offering a platform for people to commit torts probably isn’t the best idea
