Tea, a dating discussion app that recently suffered a high-profile cybersecurity breach, announced late Monday that some direct messages were also accessed in the incident.

The women-only U.S. dating advice app Tea has suspended direct messaging following a series of security breaches that exposed its users' personal details and sensitive communications, the company said on Tuesday.

Tea Dating Advice app rocketed to the top of Apple’s app store this week. It’s used for women to report issues with men. The point is helping keep women safe — but what about the legal issues around privacy and defamation?

The Tea app was intended to help women date safely. Then it got hacked.

A data breach exposed photos and ID cards of women who signed up for a fast-growing app for women to share details of men they might date.

These women are rating and reviewing men like products on Amazon, or a restaurant on Yelp. Have we forgotten our dates are also human beings?
