Videos and pictures of as many as 200,000 teenagers posted via the Snapchat service and stored on a third party website have been put online, apparently by the same people who were behind the posting of nude celebrity photos in August .
The photos and videos were captured after some users of Snapchat were tempted into using a site called Snapsaved.com. That offered to let them use the service on a website on a desktop computer, rather than just on a mobile phone.
But the site appears to have been maliciously saving the users’ login details and storing the photos and videos that were posted. An app called Snapsave, which offers similar functionality but whose developer says it only stores photos on the user’s mobile phone, is not believed to be involved.
By getting a user’s username and password, the site could authorise itself to Snapchat’s servers, and receive or send pictures they viewed through it but could also store it without the knowledge of the user or Snapchat.
It is suspected, but not so far proven, that those behind the scam are linked to those responsible for the collection and posting in August of personal and often nude photos taken by hundreds of celebrities, including Jennifer Lawrence and Kim Kardashian. The celebrity photo leak began with discussions on one of the 4chan discussion forums, and the latest photos have also come via 4chan leaks.
After warnings appeared on the bulletin board 4chan on Friday that the photos would be leaked, a site went live on Sunday offering 13 gigabytes of content which was said to have been captured from users.
Observers said that anyone downloading the files could be breaking child pornography laws if any of the pictures includes unclothed pictures of children under 16 even if the child took them.
One user on the Reddit discussion forum said that the leak dubbed “The Snappening” did not live up to its billing. He called it “13GB of low resolution garbage. Mundane, boring shit like “check out my new hat!” or “heehee my shoes are so silly!”.
But he added that there were also “maybe 100MB of actual nudes” in photo and video form.
In a statement, Snapchat said that: “We can confirm that Snapchat’s servers were never breached and were not the source of these leaks. Snapchatters were victimised by their use of third party apps to send and receive Snaps, a practice that we explicitly prohibit in our terms of use precisely because they compromise our users’ security.”
While Snapchat was apparently secure in this case, it was the subject of a hack last year in which 4.6 million usernames and phone numbers were stored by a site called SnapchatDB, which says it captured them by hacking a weakness that then existed in the program.

Nearly 100,000 images and videos from Snapchat were released on the Internet. But anyone seeing the Snapchat images might be subject to child pornography charges.
Upward of 100,000 images – many of them explicit – transferred through Snapchat were released to the Internet yesterday. But anyone caught viewing them may face legal trouble.
A 14 gigabyte file surfaced on viralpop.com, which was quickly taken down. But not before hundreds of copies of the file, containing 85,000 images a 9,000 videos , were downloaded, according to Yahoo News. These images and videos are now showing up on Reddit and 4chan .
By some estimates, 50 percent of Snapchat users between the ages of 13 and 17. That means downloading these images could open any viewers to child pornography charges. One of Snapchat's central features is that images are only supposed to be temporarily viewable to recipients - which means some teens are using the app for sexting.
In fact, those who have already downloaded the Snapchat image file said many of the pictures constitute child pornography.
“I highly suggest you don’t download this s**t,” one user posted on 4chan. “I deleted it as soon as I saw how much [child pornography] there is on it, don’t be a part of the snappening, don’t seed it, don’t share it, just get rid of it.”
Warnings surfaced on Reddit before the photos did. Two days ago in a thread titled “ The Snappening: Nude teen photos exposed in major Snapchat leak ,” a user posted: “Spoiler, there's going to be a lot of underage porn. I would avoid it for anyone thinking about looking for the photos.”
“Would not touch with a 50ft ethernet cable,” another Redditor responded.
Snapchat distanced itself from the security breach, according the International Business Times, saying the leak came from third-party apps "that users download in order to save photos and videos that would usually be deleted by the messaging app.”
“We can confirm that Snapchat’s servers were never breached and were not the source of these leaks,” the company said in a statement, adding that Snapchatters were victimized by their own use of third-party apps to send and receive Snaps, which is prohibited in the app’s Terms of Use “precisely because they compromise our users’ security.”
Snapsaved.com, a third-party app that creates a personal library of snaps, claimed full responsibility in a posting on its Facebook page Saturday.
According to the statement, the hackers never had access to any personal information such as usernames, though they did access 500 megabytes of images.

“Snapsaved has always tried to fight child pornography, we have even gone as far, as to reporting some of our Users to the Swedish and Norwegian authorities,” the statement said, adding that as soon as the breach was discovered, the entire website and associated database were shut down.
The majority of affected users are Swedish, Norwegian, and American, according to the statement.

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:
“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”
If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.
But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.
The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.
We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

200,000 Snapchat Photos Leaked On 4Chan
Celebritries With Hacked/Leaked Photos
A full-frontal selfie of the former "Roswell" and current "Girls" star surfaced this March. The photos circulated the Internet but Appleby never addressed the leak. She's no stranger to showing skin as she appeared topless in an episode of "Girls."
Around 200,000 private photos sent using the photo messaging app Snapchat were reportedly stolen and leaked on Thursday .
People on the Internet message board 4chan , which was blamed in part for the recent hack of celebrity nudes as well, began passing around the Snapchat photos on Thursday night, according to Business Insider.
It’s likely that many of the photos compromised belonged to underaged users, since 50 percent of Snapchat’s users are between the ages of 13 and 17 . If the photos are deemed pornographic — Snapchat users have a history of sending racy photos — possession and distribution of them could lead to prison time .
Snapchat itself was not compromised in the hack, a spokeswoman for the company told The Huffington Post. Instead, hackers obtained the photos through one of many third-party Snapchat apps, which are often used to covertly save Snapchats without letting the sender know. There are whispers that a third-party app called Snapsave was the app that was hacked , but that is only a rumor for now.
In an emailed statement a Snapchat spokeswoman explained that the company explicitly tells users to avoid such third-party apps for just this reason.
“Snapchatters were victimized by their use of third-party apps to send and receive Snaps, a practice that we expressly prohibit in our Terms of Use precisely because they compromise our users’ security,” the spokeswoman wrote.
Snapchat notifies a sender if the recipient screenshots a photo. But if the recipient of a photos uses a third-party app, he or she can save the photo without the sender’s knowledge. As such, Snapchat actively looks for and reports third-party apps that bypass Snapchat’s automatic photo destruction, the spokeswoman said.

Something went wrong, but don’t fret — let’s give it another shot.
