Snapchatters were allegedly victimised by their use of third-party apps to send and receive snaps – a practice that we expressly prohibit in our terms of use precisely because they compromise our users’ security. Snapchat said it was not the source of the leak and prohibited the use of third-party apps, which are created by separate developers as add-ons.Ī spokeswoman said: “We can confirm that Snapchat’s servers were never breached and were not the source of these leaks. No images have been published and there is speculation that the leak could be a hoax but some reports said the leaked images were stored on the servers of a website called Snapsaved, where Snapchat users could save their screen grabs rather than keeping them on their device. Snapchat allows users to share videos and images that disappear 10 seconds after being received, but it is possible to save the pictures by taking a screen grab in that time.
The nickname “Snappening” is a nod to last month’s “Fappening”, in which nude pictures were stolen from the iCloud accounts of celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence, Rihanna, Rita Ora and Kim Kardashian and posted online.
