Snapchat

In 2014, Snapchat experienced a massive data leak that exposed the personal information of over 4.6 million users. This leak was the result of a security breach that allowed an unauthorized party to access the companys user database.

The leaked data included usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, birthdates, and genders. It also contained user IDs, which are unique identifiers assigned to each Snapchat account. This information could be used by attackers to target users with spam, phishing attacks, or other forms of cybercrime.

The Snapchat leak was a major blow to the companys reputation and raised concerns about the security of its user data. In response to the breach, Snapchat implemented a number of new security measures, including two-factor authentication and data encryption. The company also worked with law enforcement to investigate the leak and identify the responsible parties.
