Famous Photo-sharing site Snapchat has been hacked usernames and phone numbers of 4.6 million users Exposed.
The whole data was posted on a new website named SnapchatDB.info, which was now suspended. The hackers just censored the last two digits of the phone numbers in order to minimise spam and abuse, but offered a deal to disclose the uncensored database under certain circumstances.
In a report the hackers explained that their motivation behind this cyber attack was to raise public awareness around the issue, and put public pressure on Snapchat to fix the exploit in there site.
It is understandable that tech startups have limited resources but security and privacy must be a primary goal.Security also matters as much as user experience does.

The vulnerability had been identified and reported to Snapchat days earlier by Australian firm named Gibson Security. Snapchat responded to that vulnerability on 27 December, claiming that they had safeguards in place to protects users info.
Over the last year we have implemented various protections to make it more difficult.We recently added More Security to make improvements to combat spam and abuse.
