Snapchat Leaked: Was Your Phone Number Posted Online?
January 10, 2014 posted by Steve Brownstein
While people around the world were celebrating the New Year, many were sending pictures and videos of their parties via Snapchat, a popular app that allows users to send messages that quickly delete. But during the festivities, the information from more than 4.6 million Snapchat accounts leaked online as a free download.
The database contains username and phone number pairs from Snapchat accounts in 76 different U.S. area codes. If you’re worried that your Snapchat account was leaked, you can download the database from SnapchatDB for free as an SQL dump file or a CSV text file.
The last two digits of each phone number are censored, but SnapchatDB says it would be willing to release the uncensored database “under certain circumstances.” That probably means a Bitcoin payment, considering SnapchatDB provides contact information and a Bitcoin wallet account for users to make donations.
SnapchatDB was temporarily suspended, but is active once again. In case the website goes down again, users can also check GS Lookup to find out if their Snapchat account was compromised.
