The hackers are also demanding that the CEO apologize or an intensive strike against Snapchat will be launched. Now, the same flaw was used to steal Snapchat users data, reports DailyMail. It appears that the flaw in Snapchat’s security was discovered last year, but never reported to the authorities. It seems that the hackers belong to one of the many bug bounty hunting groups that are finding flaws in systems of big companies in exchange for money. The hacking group has supposedly found vulnerabilities in Snapchat’s systems and managed to steal 1.7 million user data and leaked them on the dark web. Enraged India first reacted on Twitter, and after that, the hacktivist group Anonymous India claimed that they were responsible for 1.7 million Snapchat users’ data leak. But this time, it is for all the wrong reasons with tweets and hashtags (#Uninstall_Snapchat and #BoycottSnapchat) urging people to get rid of the app.Īpparently, the outrage started in India, after one of Snapchat’s former employees said that the CEO of the company had no intention to expand the business to India since the Snapchat platform is meant for “rich people” and not for “poor countries” like India and or Spain. One of the biggest and most popular social networking platforms, Snapchat, has once again become the center of attention.
