More than 100,000 videos and images sent using Snapchat have been leaked by hackers who have been intercepting and collecting the images for years.Earlier this week, an anonymous 4chan user claimed to have obtained images on Snapchat — the ephemeral messaging service that allows users to send pictures and videos that should disappear after a few seconds.The pictures were posted in an event dubbed ‘The Snappening,' Business Insider reported.
Users have told the website that the collection includes a large cache of child pornography — as half of Snapchat's users are teens between ages 13 and 17. A third-party Snapchat client app has been collecting every photo and video file sent through the message site for years, giving hackers access to a 13GB private library.But Snapchat has denied that its service was ever compromised.
