A dating advice app that lets women anonymously review their dates and compare notes has surged in popularity.
A spokesperson for Tea confirmed the hack to ABC News Friday afternoon, noting it involved a database that stored around 13,000 images of selfies and photo identification submitted as users sought to verify their accounts, as well as nearly 60,000 images viewable for all app users.
