Snapchatters were victimized by their use of third-party apps to send and receive Snaps, a practice that we expressly prohibit in our Terms of Use precisely because they compromise our users’ security. We can confirm that Snapchat’s servers were never breached and were not the source of these leaks. UPDATE: Snapchat issued the following statement regarding this leak to VentureBeat: Online forum is once again the site people are using to post the leaked photos and videos. Also of note, Snapchat’s user base consists largely of teenagers under the age of 18, so many of the leaked photos are in fact child pornography. The worst part is that people sending Snapchats often don’t realize the people to whom they are sending photos and videos are using third-party services to keep the files. According to the report, all users of the cloud service Snapsave, which allows people to permanently save photos and videos sent via Snapchat, can be counted among the victims of this latest leak. As a result, the service has become a target for hackers looking to intercept nude photos, and the least attack is the mother lode.Īs noted by Kenny Withers (NSFW), about 200,000 Snapchat users have fallen victim to an ongoing breach that has taken place over the past two years. While Snapchat has a number of uses, one of the most obvious is the exchange of racy photos and videos.
