Dominick Reyes vs. Carlos Ulberg headlines UFC Perth
Dominick Reyes and Carlos Ulberg are set to clash in Perth. A big light heavyweight bout is headed to Australia. Former UFC title challenger Dominick Reyes has been booked to fight streaking contender Carlos Ulberg in the UFC Perth main event Sept. 27 at RAC Arena in Western Australia. The news was announced by the promotion Tuesday. Reyes (14-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) is enjoying a career resurgence after undergoing a rough patch. He most recently fought in April, when he knocked out Nikita Kryvlov in the first round. The victory put Reyes on a three-fight winning streak, putting behind a four-fight skid and a series of health issues threatened to end his fighting career. The rut began with a highly debated decision loss to Jon Jones in a light heavyweight title fight many thought Reyes won in 2020. Ulberg (12-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) picked up a close decision win against ex-champ Jan Blachowicz in March. Ulberg has one of the best current streaks in the promotion and is undefeated in his most recent eight trips to the octagon. Ulberg trains with former UFC champion Israel Adesanya at City Kickboxing in New Zealand. With the addition, the UFC Perth lineup now includes:

The Tea App Data Breach: What Was Exposed and What We Know About the Class Action Lawsuit
Tea, a women's dating safety app that surged to the top of the free iOS App Store listings, suffered a major security breach last week. The company confirmed Friday that it "identified authorized access to one of our systems" that exposed thousands of user images. And now we know that DMs were accessed during the breach, too. Tea's preliminary findings from the end of last week showed the data breach exposed approximately 72,000 images: 13,000 images of selfies and photo identification that people had submitted during account verification, and 59,000 images that were publicly viewable in the app from posts, comments and direct messages. Those images had been stored in a "legacy data system" that contained information from more than two years ago, the company said in statement. "At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that current or additional user data was affected." Earlier Friday, posts on Reddit and 404 Media reported that Tea app users' faces and IDs had been posted on anonymous online message board 4chan. Tea requires users to verify their identities with selfies or IDs, which is why driver's licenses and pictures of people's faces are in the leaked data. And on Monday, a Tea spokesperson confirmed to CNET that it additionally "recently learned that some direct messages (DMs) were accessed as part of the initial incident." Tea has also taken the affected system offline. That confirmation followed a report by 404 Media on Monday that an independent security researcher discovered it would have been possible for hackers to gain access to DMs between Tea users, affecting messages sent up to last week on the Tea app. Tea said it has launched a full investigation to assess the scope and impact of the breach. Class action lawsuit filed One of the users of the Tea app, Griselda Reyes, has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of herself and other Tea users affected by the data breach. According to court documents filed on July 28, as reported earlier by 404 Media, Reyes is suing Tea over its alleged "failure to properly secure and safeguard ... personally identifiable information." "Shortly after the data breach was announced, internet users claimed to have mapped the locations of Tea's users based on metadata contained from the leaked images," the complaint alleges. "Thus, instead of empowering women, Tea has actually put them at risk of serious harm." Tea also has yet to notify its customers personally about their data being breached, the complaint alleges. The complaint is seeking class action status, damages for those affected "in an amount to be determined" and certain requirements for Tea to improve its data storage and handling practices. Scott Edward Cole of Cole & Van Note, the law firm representing Reyes, told CNET he is "stunned" by the alleged lack of security protections in place. "This application was advertised as a safe place for women to share information, sometimes very intimate information, about their dating experiences. Few people would take that risk if they'd known Tea Dating put such little effort into its cybersecurity," Cole alleged. "One chief goal of our lawsuit is to compel the company to start taking user privacy a lot more seriously." Tea did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the class action lawsuit. What is the Tea app? The premise of Tea is to provide women with a space to report negative interactions they've had while encountering men in the dating pool, with the intention of keeping other women safe. The app is currently sitting at the No. 2 spot for free apps on Apple's US App Store, right after ChatGPT, drawing international attention and sparking a debate about whether the app violates men's privacy. Following the news of the data breach, it also plays into the wider ongoing debate around whether online identity and age verification pose an inherent security risk to internet users. In the privacy section on its website, Tea says: "Tea Dating Advice takes reasonable security measures to protect your Personal Information to prevent loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Please be aware, however, that despite our efforts, no security measures are impenetrable."

New Zealand light heavyweight star Carlos Ulberg in Perth's UFC Fight Night main event
New Zealand light heavyweight contender Carlos Ulberg will hope to get himself a step closer to a championship shot when he takes on Dominick Reyes in the main event of UFC Fight Night in Perth later this year. The West Australian can reveal Ulberg (12-1) will step into the Octagon against Reyes (15-4) for five five-minute rounds as the headline of the bumper card at RAC Arena on September 28. Ulberg, 34, is on an eight-fight win streak and is coming off a unanimous decision victory over former champion Jan Blachowicz in March, cementing himself as one of the top athletes in the division. Ranked No.3 in the UFC, a win over former title contender in Reyes would put the Auckland-based light heavyweight firmly in the picture to face the winner of Alex Pereira and defending champion Magomed Ankalaev, who will meet in October. Ulberg trains out of City Kickboxing, the same gym that has produced former two-time middleweight champion Israel Adesanya as well as Dan Hooker and Kai Kara-France, who have all fought in Perth previously. 'If you look at the current champion (Ankalaev) and the former champion (Pereira), their last fight with Jan Blachowicz was a very close fight, as well,' Ulberg said after the win over Blachowicz. 'I beat him with a unanimous decision, so it's a very good feat for me.' Reyes, 35, is on a three-fight win streak and would love to boost his ranking from No.8 to get himself back in the title picture, having contended in 2020 when he lost to Jon Jones at UFC 247. Reyes is fresh off an impressive victory over Nikita Krylov, who he left unconscious with a brutal left hand midway through the first round at UFC 314 to put the division on notice. 'I'm literally on my second UFC run, and the first one felt really good but this one feels just a little bit better because I did fall all the way down. And now I'm on the rise. One away from the title,' Reyes said after the fight. It can also be revealed Michelle Montague will make history as the first New Zealand women's fighter to step into a UFC Octagon when she fights Brazilian Luana Carolina in Perth. Montague (6-0) will battle UFC veteran Carolina (11-4) in a women's bantamweight fight as part of the blockbuster card. The 31-year-old, who is known as 'The Wild One', is an exciting prospect, having won all six of her professional bouts by rear naked choke to earn herself a shot in the promotion.
