News Summary

A recent TechCrunch investigation uncovered severe security vulnerabilities in the TeaOnHer app, which exposed sensitive user data, including driver’s licenses and government-issued IDs, to the public. The app, intended for sharing dating experiences, was found to have gaping holes in its backend system, allowing unauthorized access to user data. Despite efforts to notify the app’s developer, Xavier Lampkin, the initial response was dismissive. However, following the disclosure, the API documentation and landing page have been updated to require authentication, and public access to user documents has been restricted.
