茶恋爱应用确认数据泄露,数千用户照片被曝光

摘要

专注于女性安全的恋爱应用茶(Tea)披露了一起数据泄露事件,暴露了7.2万张用户照片,包括用于账户验证的自拍照。专家警告,此事件凸显了与生物识别数据和在线约会平台相关的隐私风险日益增加。

茶(Tea)是一款允许女性分享关于男性信息以保障安全的恋爱应用,该公司报告称一次数据存储泄露导致7.2万张照片被未经授权访问,其中约1.3万张自拍照是在2024年2月前提交用于账户验证的。公司表示,这些验证照片通常在账户审核通过后被删除,而另外5.9万张被访问的照片已经在应用内公开可见。

此次事件引发了人们对约会平台上个人隐私和数据安全的重新关注。SocialProof Security的首席执行官兼联合创始人Rachel Tobac指出,即使看似无害的自拍照,当与其他个人信息结合时,也可能成为网络犯罪分子的宝贵资源。她建议受影响用户考虑冻结信用记录、从数据经纪网站删除个人信息、将社交媒体账户设为私密,并使用密码管理器和多因素认证。

Tobac还强调了企业在收集身份或年龄验证等敏感信息时面临的风险。“你收集的任何信息都必须保护好。收集的信息越多,你就越成为网络犯罪分子的目标,”她说。

监控技术监督项目(Surveillance Technology Oversight Project)创始人兼执行董事Albert Fox Cahn警告不要让面部识别技术在此类应用中成为常态,他指出这会增加来自黑客和执法部门滥用的风险。“我们都知道在线约会可能存在毒性,但解决方案不是更多监控,”Cahn说,并建议用户限制与公司共享的数据量。

人工智能安全公司XSOC Corp.首席执行官Richard Blech将自拍照和图像形容为人工智能驱动攻击的“数据金矿”,这些攻击可能包括面部识别欺骗、生物识别绕过和深度伪造。他提醒大家保持警惕,指出生物识别数据不同于密码,一旦泄露无法更改。“你不能换新号码或更改密码。被盗信息势必会被利用,这毫无疑问,”Blech说。

茶应用的数据泄露事件继其他约会平台类似事件之后,再次凸显了该行业在保护用户隐私和数据安全方面面临的持续挑战。
