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.

Hackers have breached the Tea app, which recently went viral as a place for women to safely talk about men, and tens of thousands of women’s selfies and photo IDs have now seemingly been leaked online.

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

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?
