Users from 4chan claim to have discovered an exposed database hosted on Google’s mobile app development platform, Firebase, belonging to the newly popular women’s dating safety app Tea. Users say they are rifling through peoples’ personal data and selfies uploaded to the app, and then posting that data online, according to screenshots, 4chan posts, and code reviewed by 404 Media.

I had been under the impression that 4chan had also basically died due to their own site getting hacked

That which has no life can never truly die (or something)

That is not dead which can eternal lie, and in strange eons even death may die.

I think?

the site got hacked and most of the admins were revealed to have .gov emails but everyone pretty much already expected that so nobody actually cared and it's back to business as usual

Oh my god that's... So stupid, i hate this time line.

Dirty water that would behave no different if you sifted out the proteins.

I remember reading that this was something someone just made up and was spread a bunch, but wasn't true at all.

It's not like it was a complicated site, they just rebuilt it in some modern framework on the cheap.
