"An app was created to help women stay safe on dates and avoid creeps, proceeds to be hacked by creeps"

Not a great look here.

However, Tea could have done a modicum of cybersecurity work (or hired an outside firm) to prevent this. If they are claiming to want to keep women safe (and not just running a gossip board) then this should be a red alert for them. No public acknowledgement is concerning...

An app that was created to publicly share images and public information of people got the images and public information of the people sharing it exposed.

I don't know how can anyone feel wrong about this without feeling even worse for what was already taking place.

I have no doubt in my mind that this is what they did. An "outside firm" vibe coded this and delivered the results.

Dear reader, the women were the creeps.
