Tea app disables DMs after second data breach exposed over a million private messages

Tea, a dating safety app, has experienced a second data breach in as many weeks, exposing over a million sensitive messages between its users. The breach occurred despite the company's previous efforts to address security concerns following an initial breach. In response, the app has now disabled its direct messaging (DM) feature to prevent further unauthorized access to users' private communications. The latest incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by technology companies in safeguarding their users' data and the importance of robust security measures. The breach has raised concerns about the privacy and safety of individuals using the app, and the company has yet to provide a comprehensive explanation of the incident or details on how it plans to prevent similar breaches in the future. The disabling of the DM feature is a temporary measure aimed at mitigating the immediate impact of the breach, but it also raises questions about the app's long-term viability and the trust of its user base.
