Partially Censored Database From Snapchat Intrusion Released
hypnosec writes "Just days after Australia-based Gibson Security disclosed two vulnerabilities in Snapchat that could allow hackers to gain access to personal data of its users, hackers managed to get their hands onto basic information of 4.6 million Snapchat users and have leaked it online, partially censored.The database dump is available on SnapchatDB and allows anyone to grab it as a SQL dump or CSV text file. ... 'This information was acquired through the recently patched Snapchat exploit and is being shared with the public to raise awareness on the issue,' reads a statement on SnapchatDB."

I heard that the data was acquired through a recently patched Snapchat exploit and is being shared with the public to raise awareness on the issue,
This account has been suspended.
Either the domain has been overused, or the reseller ran out of resources.
Worthless without pics...
You can't handle the truth.
slashdot beta sucks and it is not nice to redirect people to it at random.
The dump contains less than 5M of users (partial ID and nickname only) :(
I have registered on Snapchat 3 days ago, and my nickname is missing in this dump
Dumbass. Load the CSV into your NoSQL technology. There ya go. CSV is about as vanilla as you can get.
I'd like to warn everyone that there's the possibility that the link in the parent comment refers to a web page that may contain images of penises. I haven't actually visited it myself, but I do feel that warning about this potential risk is in order.
If you're like me and you don't want to potentially be subjected to the whims of hundreds of pictures of large, throbbing cocks, I'd strongly advise that you do not click on links to web sites that you do not recognize.
I thought bottoms liked hard cock? The more you know!
Atlanta exhibitionists aren't included.
I've seen nothing but the most negative comments about the Slashdot Beta. While I've probably seen well over 50 comments expressing mild to extreme hatred for the Slashdot Beta, I have not seen a single comment saying anything remotely non-negative, never mind positive, about it.
How long is this farce going to continue? Why is this Slashdot Beta project still around? All of the existing users here who have been subjected to it apparently hate it. It will obviously not bring in any new users, never mind enough new users to make up for all of the users who it will drive away.
There's no shame in killing failing software projects. Slashdot Beta is, indisputably, a failing software project. The users all hate it. It is objectively worse than what it's replacing. It brings no positives, but brings truckloads of negatives.
Cutting one's losses as early as possible when facing a failing software project is a very sensible thing to do. Slashdot should cut its losses now and put an end to this Slashdot Beta nonsense.
The Slashdot Beta needs to go. It cannot be salvaged. It's unfortunate, but all of the work and effort put toward it so far needs to be thrown out. Everything about it is bad, bad, bad!
What the fuck? You're disappointed that your private information was not leaked?
I know that the Web 2.0 generation has a complete disregard for the privacy of their own sensitive information, but it's really fucking absurd when they feel sad that such information wasn't unintentionally made publicly available!
I heard that Beta Slashdot is built using free range Python and other organic ingredients as against old Slashdot that uses PERL and is therefore useless.
Raise awareness my ass. They wanted to show it off. What a bunch of BS
Many area codes are missing from it, including (for example), 408...
Was it a month or two ago that facebook was offering $3 billion and got turned down...
I wonder if the value has gone up or down since then ...
I mean, afterall, how much damage to a brand's value could an event like this have when users find out their personal data has been downloaded by hackers?
WARNING! Linked page may have pictures of penises.
May? You're not sure what you saw ... or you're not sure what one looks like?
I find this development most disturbing.
Maybe beta can be made the new mobile version, and then they can let us have our regular slashdot back.
The redirect can be avoided by setting a parameter via the URL: http://slashdot.org/?nobeta=1
Update your bookmark/link and you're good to go, old school!
When you're dead, you don't know you're dead. It only affects the people around you. Same thing when you're stupid.
It only hurts the users. There's every chance you will be sending private data to criminals. No good can come from it.
Here is a supposed interview with the hackers. http://www.stefanvetter.com/blog/snapchatdb-interview-authors-snapchat-hack-publishing-information-4-6-mio-users
And care even less.
People sign up to all these desperate narcissist social sites because they are desperate narcissists willing to do whatever it takes to be the center of attention. Who gives a flying fuck about their privacy? Not them, that's for sure.
I'd not heard of the beta until now, so I slapped beta.slashdot.org in and navigated to this posting ..... its actually not too bad. It renders faster, has a cleaner minimalistic look.. much like the way the web is going these days for the "flat" feeling. I believe this is like when Facebook has an update, nobody likes a change.
I just tried it, and holy hell it is as you say an abomination. Took me times to even find your comment to respond to.. :|
I'm actually with you on this. Hadn't tried it before - gave it a shot and I don't hate it. Fairly apathetic on the issue - I can handle either designs but the beta isn't bad.
