Users from 4chan claim to have discovered an exposed database hosted on Google’s mobile app development platform, Firebase, belonging to the newly popular women’s dating safety app Tea. Users say they are rifling through peoples’ personal data and selfies uploaded to the app, and then posting that data online, according to screenshots, 4chan posts, and code reviewed by 404 Media.

I had been under the impression that 4chan had also basically died due to their own site getting hacked

It's not like it was a complicated site, they just rebuilt it in some modern framework on the cheap.

Oh my god that's... So stupid, i hate this time line.

Dirty water that would behave no different if you sifted out the proteins.
