If you used a certain third-party Snapchat client, photos you received may be among the over 100,000 photos allegedly taken in a major privacy breach, according to
Business Insider.
Anonymous users of the 4chan message boards say the leaked photos come via a Web-based third-party Snapchat client called SnapSaved. Normally, photos sent over Snapchat self-destruct after a few seconds, but SnapSaved allowed Snapchat users to save snaps that others send them.
According to Business Insider, SnapSaved is no longer active, but apparently hackers were able to find their way into the SnapSaved database and steal the images in question.
It’s important to note that Snapchat itself was not compromised through this breach. If you only use the official Snapchat app, your account should be safe from this particular leak.
