Privacy Nightmare: 72,000 Photos Leaked from Women’s Safety App

In this episode of Leading Change in the Wild, we break down the recent data breach at the viral women’s-only dating app, Tea. Marketed as a platform to help women vet potential matches and stay safe, the app is now facing serious backlash after hackers accessed over 72,000 images, including photo IDs and selfies submitted for account verification. What we cover in this episode: - What the Tea App promised—and how it failed its users - Why this breach has sparked fear, outrage, and safety concerns - Whether "vibe coding" (AI-generated software development) played a role - How legacy systems and poor security practices left data vulnerable - The bigger questions this raises about trust, digital safety, and ethics in app development For anyone building, buying, or using technology: this is a cautionary tale.
