Last week saw a data breach with women's dating safety app Tea, and today, @404 Media reports on a second — an independent security researcher told the reporting team of @Emanuel Maiberg and @Joseph Cox that they were able to access messages between users discussing abortions and cheating partners, as well as phone numbers they exchanged. Tea is a "whisper network" where women can check out and share information with other women on the men they are in a relationship with or considering dating.
