Dating App TeaOnHer Exposed Thousands of User's Private Data Due to Critical Security Flaws

TeaOnHer, a dating gossip app designed for men to share information about women they claim to have dated, suffered a major security breach exposing thousands of users' personal information, including driver's license photos and other government-issued IDs. TechCrunch reporters discovered easily exploitable flaws, including exposed admin panel credentials and an API allowing unauthenticated access to user data. The app's developer, Xavier Lampkin, failed to respond to multiple requests for comment and didn't commit to notifying affected users or regulators. While the vulnerabilities have since been patched, the incident highlights the critical need for developers to prioritize user data security.
