A recent database leak has seen the
usernames and phone numbers of 4.6
million Snapchat users released to the
public.SnapchatDB, which has been set up
by an anonymous, unaffiliated group, has
posted two files (a CSV and SQL dump) that
contains the data of Snapchat users,
obtained through an unpatched exploit.
The final two digits in each user's phone
number has been censored in an effort to
"minimize spam and abuse". However it will
still be easy for anyone to search the
database for a certain person and discover
their (partial) phone number, especially if
they use the same username for Snapchat as
other places like Twitter.
SnapchatDB says that anyone can contact
them to ask for an uncensored database,
which might be an indication that the team
will sell the data. Although SnapchatDB
claims the data represents a "vast majority"
of users, it's far from complete: all users are
from North America only, making up 76 of
336 United States area codes, and two from
Canada.
The leak comes just shortly after Snapchat
admitted there were some security issues
with the 'find friends with phone numbers'
feature, issues which Gibson Security
discovered in August, but went ignored.
According to Gibson, it was possible to
check 10,000 numbers in seven minutes,
and with a list of every phone number in the
US, stealing information would be quite easy
despite Snapchat's attempts to downplay
the issue.
The good news is that the exploit has been
patched, so no more data can be collected
for the rest of Snapchat's userbase. But the
exploit shouldn't have been there in the first
place, which just goes to show that you
can't trust all startups with your private
information.
To check if your username/phone number
combination has been released in the leak,
head toSnapcheck.org.

Still no one had real access to them otherwise the internet would have bee  littered with too many IG hack stories.
