What am I downloading?
You are downloading 4.6 million users’ phone number information, along with their usernames. People tend to use the same username around the web so you can use this information to find phone number information associated with Facebook and Twitter accounts, or simply to figure out the phone numbers of people you wish to get in touch with.Some more information…
This database contains username and phone number pairs of a vast majority of the Snapchat users. This information was acquired through the recently patched Snapchat exploit and is being shared with the public to raise awareness on the issue. The company was too reluctant at patching the exploit until they knew it was too late and companies that we trust with our information should be more careful when dealing with it. For now, we have censored the last two digits of the phone numbers in order to minimize spam and abuse. Feel free to contact us to ask for the uncensored database. Under certain circumstances, we may agree to release it.
Last month, ZDNet reported that Gibson Security had published undocumented developer hooks (API) and code for exploits that allow mass matching of phone numbers with names and mass creation of bogus accounts after Snapchat had ignored their security disclosure since August.
According to the leak, the exploit has recently been patched; however, this probably won’t give users on the list much comfort.
