The troubling part of this is that many younger kids use Snapchat religiously...
Quote:
Snapchat says its own servers have not been breached and any compromise was due to third party services.
Hackers claim to have acquired a database
containing hundreds of thousands of photos that were sent using the
popular photo and video sharing service Snapchat, and are threatening to
release them on the internet.
AND
Business Insider has reported that users of 4chan, the forum which
recently published nude photos of celebrities that were obtained through
hacking, say they have the file and are currently compiling the
pictures into a database searchable by Snapchat username.

Commentary:
We don't know why in the world anybody would host this on HostGator but it appears as though the hosting provider has removed the site. The hackers will just upload the content to TOR and be done with it.
The purpose of this page is to provide awareness to individuals and organizations that are leaking information and the information of their customers.
