Snapchat is the latest app/service to have suffered a security breach that has exposed the usernames and phone numbers of 4.6 million of its users. An anonymous group of hackers was able to extract and has published this information in a website that has since been taken down. The same group of hackers also revealed Snapchat's API which is essential to how the app operates. A show of tough love, the hacker group stated that Snapchat has been too lax with its user's private information.
“Our motivation behind the release was to raise the public awareness around the issue, and also put public pressure on Snapchat to get this exploit fixed. It is understandable that tech startups have limited resources but security and privacy should not be a secondary goal. Security matters as much as user experience does,” explained the group in a statement to TechCrunch.
