The successful phish ultimately compromised dozens of employees’ identities. In that attack, someone posed as the company’s CEO and convinced a Snapchat employee to send over payroll information.
We also can’t forget about the security incident that occurred back in February 2016. Nefarious individuals could have used that information to profile targets across multiple web accounts. Some have already met with limited success.įor instance, back in late 2013, a group of hackers published a database containing the usernames and phone numbers of approximately 4.6 million Snapchat users. Given the app’s popularity, it’s no wonder online criminals have set their sights on hacking users’ Snapchat accounts. Those include Snapcash, a method introduced for users to send mobile payments to their friends. Others are drawn by the service’s more recent features.
