Summary

Show ▼
Private nude and semi-nude photos from approximately 517 Snapchat accounts were stolen and later traded or sold online, exposing intimate images from over 750 women. The leak stemmed from credential theft and unauthorized account access rather than an open public database dump. The actor also used two-factor authentication to lock victims out after the theft. The result was a privacy breach that enabled further redistribution of highly sensitive images.
