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.

To be fair, I’m not sure why firebase even has a public access option. That’s a recipe for issues.

Though if it’s anything like Google Cloud Store, they hopefully make it very clear that your bucket is public.
