A major data breach has compromised the personal information of over 72,000 users of the women-only dating app Tea, designed to enhance safety but ultimately failing to secure user data. Hackers discovered that the app's database was unsecured, resulting in the exposure of selfies, government ID images, and private messages. Data leaked included images dated as recently as 2024 and 2025, countering claims by the app that only older data was affected. Critics have slammed the app's 'vibe coding' approach, where developers rely heavily on generative AI without proper security checks. This incident raises broader concerns regarding the security and efficacy of AI-generated code, with research indicating a significant percentage of such code contains vulnerabilities. As users scramble to respond to the breach, the situation underscores the importance of strong security practices over reliance on automated coding solutions.
