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.Īs soon as we discovered the breach in our systems, we immediately deleted the entire website and the database associated with it. SnapChat has not been hacked, and these images do not originate from their database. We had a misconfiguration in our Apache server. In response to recent media events and the statement made by, I would like to inform the public that was hacked, the dictionary index the poster is referring to, was never publicly available. was a website used to save SnapChat's, precisely as the app snapsave. I would like to elaborate on the recent events regarding. Here's the full Facebook post from the Snapsaved developer:
They cautioned against the use of any Snapchat apps that aren't developed by the company, warning that these sites are prohibited by the company's terms of use. In a statement released following the Snapsaved hack, Snapchat blamed its users for downloading and using third-party apps to save Snapchats. Snapsaved's statement seems to dispel this theory, instead increasing concern over the security of Snapchat's support for external developers. It had previously been feared that hackers created Snapsaved with the sole purpose of intercepting explicit photos and videos of children. Here are 4chan users discussing the rumored database: They claimed that a database was being built that would allow people to search the archive of stolen photographs by username. Posters on 4chan had claimed that the usernames of the teenagers shown in the explicit photographs were leaked along with the images themselves.
Snapsaved goes on to deny that usernames were leaked along with the images, which means that rumors of a searchable database of the images are likely false. In the new Facebook post, Snapsaved denies this claim. This meant that hackers were able to access the trove of nearly 100,000 files and post them online at another site.Ī post on anonymous note site Pastebin had accused the administrators of Snapsaved of intentionally providing hackers with access to the site's store of saved images. In the Facebook post, Snapsaved claim that a misconfiguration in its Apache server caused the site's database of saved Snapchat photos and videos to become vulnerable to hackers. Snapsaved is a web site that lets users save photos from Snapchat, which normally deletes them automatically after each message. The Guardian reports that third-party Snapchat client Snapsaved posted an update on its Facebook Page that explained how the photographs surfaced online. One of the anonymous developers of a third-party Snapchat client has claimed that hackers managed to break into his site, confirming the source of the 100,000 Snapchat photos and videos that leaked online last week in an event known as "The Snappening."
