The news report posted by Techworm on 27.12.2013 proved correct when a site called SnapchatDB.info went online and was giving out saved usernames and phone numbers for 4.6 million accounts for download. Â The information given by SnapchatDB is said to be the result of the Snapchat exploit that Gibson Security exposed. Â We had sent a mail to Snapchat after the Gibson Security Report but it remained unanswered. Â
However there is this element of surprise in the timing of the SnapchatDB.info going online and now offline. Â Yes, as of now its website says thatÂ
This account has been suspended. Either the domain has been overused, or the reseller ran out of resources.
All over the world, the tech websites are reporting this leak with TechCrunch running a story around 6 hours ago. Â Though Techworm had reported the Gibson Security Report and later on there were reports of this being a hoax. Â TechCrunch reported found out that the hack did take place first hand by seeing his number and that of Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel in the list. Â We tried to download the data from SnapChatDB.info but kept getting the message as above. Â The news that data was available was confirmed by a Reddit who said that the leaked data contained only United State Numbers.

Redditor Robbie has posted a script which gives out whether or not your number is in the leaked list (though it does only username parsing at present). Â You can check your username here, the sample script is provided below :
Table Of Contents
Happy new year, your Snapchat data may have been leaked!
This is running really slow right now, please stand by
This script will let you put in a username and we will check it against the database. We can’t check phone numbers yet.
Full disclosure of Snapchat API from Gibson Security. Data from here. Checker script by ws. Hosted by Robbie.
NOTE: We don’t own this data. We didn’t scrape it, steal it, buy it, whatever. We are just trying to provide a helpful service to the community.
The website then throws up whether your username is all clear or in the list. Â The only worry as said above is the timing of the leaking of data. Â We are not taking names but looks like the fish are rotten deep within.
UPDATE : A 13GB Cache of SnapChat images has been leaked, read more about it here.
