The rise of the dating safety app TeaOnHer: Features copied from Tea, and not without vulnerabilities.

The dating safety app TeaOnHer competes with TEA.

The application "TEA" is a dating information sharing platform claimed to be a "women's safety application." Female users can share their experiences of dating men within the app, with functionality similar to the Facebook group "Are we dating the same guy?" It emphasizes protecting women's safety through information sharing. Official data indicates that Tea has attracted over 6 million users. However, due to the inability to fully verify the content of the posts, the app has also been accompanied by significant controversy.

At the same time, the replica "TeaOnHer" has rapidly risen to rank second in the "Lifestyle" category of the Apple App Store. TeaOnHer is seen as a direct counter to Tea, allowing male users to upload photos and information to share their experiences of dating women. Its App Store description even directly copies the language and positioning of Tea, forming a gender-opposite counter version.

The Rise of TeaOnHer: Features Copied from Tea, with No Shortage of Vulnerabilities

After TEA was exposed for a database breach, with thousands of selfies and ID photos used for account verification leaked, the replica TeaOnHer also revealed a security vulnerability. Tech media TechCrunch found that the vulnerability in the application allowed anyone to access data of TeaOnHer users, including their usernames and associated email addresses, as well as the driver's licenses and selfies uploaded to TeaOnHer, with both vulnerabilities being strikingly similar.

In addition, TeaOnHer's visitor mode can view indecent images and posts containing humiliating personal information about women, including nude photos, names, and comments that stigmatize sexually transmitted diseases, which involve serious privacy violations and the dissemination of images without consent.
