Snapchat Got Hacked For 4.6 Million Usernames and Phone Numbers...It's Only a Matter of Time Now....

WTOP - Snapchat, the disappearing-message service popular with young people, has been quiet following a security breach that allowed hackers to collect the usernames and phone numbers of millions of its users. Company spokeswoman Mary Ritti said Thursday morning that the company is assessing the situation, but did not have further comment. As Americans rang in the New Year, hackers reportedly published 4.6 million Snapchat usernames and phone numbers on a website called snapchatdb.info, which has since been suspended. The breach came less than a week after security experts alerted Snapchat of a vulnerability in its system and warned that an attack could take place. In response to the warning, Snapchat said in a blog post last Friday that it had implemented “various safeguards” over the past year that would make it more difficult to steal large sets of phone numbers. But the measures appear to have fallen short. The incident bruises the image of a young company that reportedly turned down a $3 billion buyout offer from Facebook last year. According to the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project, 9 percent of U.S. cell phone owners use Snapchat, which amounts to roughly 20 million adults, based on 2012 census data. The Pew study didn’t include users under 18, a demographic with which Snapchat is especially popular. The Los Angeles-based company, which has no source of revenue, has not disclosed its own user figures.

I have a theory that right before an asteroid hits the earth and we all die and 99% of the human race is wiped from the earth (beside the people picked to live in the special caves in the mountains until the dust settles…you’ve seen Deep Impact), they will write one last history book. And in that book, it will be written that the guy who invented Snapchat made the worst financial decision of all time. By turning down 3 billion dollars from Facebook, Snapchat Douche, which I believe is his given name, made the worst money decision ever. You’re not Zuckerberg, bro. You’re not even Eduardo. Fuck, you’re not even a Winkelvoss. You are a guy who got lucky and created an app so tit picks can be sent without ending up on the internet. I’m not an everyday Miss Cleo, but gun to my head, Snapchat will be sold for a shit ton of mayo less than 3 billion dollars in 2014.

PS: by only a matter of time now, I meant until the database of titty pics is hacked. They claim it’s all safe, but nobody can possibly buy that story. No chance in hell Snapchat Douche knows what he’s doing over there.
