How to find out if your Snapchat account has been hacked

snapchat-hack

Some days ago we learned that the Snapchat application had suffered the worst attack in its history, in which the personal information of more than four million users. The leaked data included users' nicknames along with their phone numbers. The attack was possible through a bug that existed in the application and that had already been reported on several occasions, but Snapchat had done nothing to fix it.

Do you want to know if your account has been one of those affected by this security attack? We indicate the steps to confirm.

When Snapchat was hacked, those responsible for the attack set up a website where they could find the data from these 4,6 million users affected. The portal disappeared after a few hours, due to pressure from users, but now there are two websites that allow us to check if our accounts are among those filtered:

- GS-Lookup- Enter your Snapchat username to find out if your information has been leaked. If your nickname appears, you will also be able to see your phone number, minus the last two digits.

- snap check: it is the best option, since it allows you to see if your information has been filtered just by entering your username or phone number.

From Snapchat They have already taken measures (finally) so that an attack of such magnitude does not occur again. Hopefully the platform will respect the privacy of its users as much as possible from now on.
