What is the Tea hack?
An app called Tea™ was marketed as a safespace for women and used government issued IDs as a way to verify users.
4Chan users leaked all of the IDs onto the larger internet.
So it essentially became a honey trap, either through malice or sheer incompetence.
Well, I get what you mean, but a "honey trap" idiom in English, also called a "honeypot scheme", usually refers to utilizing romantic connections to influence people to make decisions or release confidential information.
Honeypot is a common term in computing/cybersecurity, setting up fake important servers so bad actors invade and the security team can analyze what got in and how to deal with it.
Well it doesnt surprise me that the IT team doesn't know about a sexual terminology, tbh.
Wow what a fuckin shitshow. I have so many follow-up questions
