Snapchat Database Leaked!!-[API Included]

Evidently a security company became flustered at Snapchat's lack of security, so they hacked it and are releasing the DB for free. It includes emails and phone numbers with the last 2 numbers blocked on the numbers.

Here's little History about SnapChat-     

 "Snapchat, a rapidly growing messaging service, which became famous due to an all-cash acquisition offer from Facebook for close to $3 billion or more.  

It's an app that allows you to take a picture of yourself and send a message like a chat system but you get to set how long that message will last on the other persons phone and it will get deleted.

                           Well, I heard from people saying that it took them only 1 hour to write the code. Even if you check the logo it doesn't make any sense with name snapchat. They even  ignored the vulnerability report from the unknown security researcher and then the LEAK happened.

                                      

                                         Due to an alleged vulnerability in Snapchat’s security, unknown hackers have released a database that they claim includes 4.6 million Snapchat account usernames and mobile numbers in a dump at SnapchatDB.info  In total, SnapchatDB claims to include the username and phone number combinations of 4,609,621 accounts across the 76 US area codes listed here. Their advice for Snapchat users who have been affected (you can check if your details are in the dump at this site, built by data scientist Vik Paruchuri) is to delete your account and, if necessary, change your phone number.

 

And The API Is Here ,API is not much secure but you can take a look  ;)
