If you haven't heard by now, Snapchat, a mobile app that allows you to share pictures via iPhone and Android it uses your mobile devices data plan, has been hacked.
The bad part is, Snapchats was told about two weeks ago by Gibson Security it had problems with it's security when they hacked Snapchat on Christmas Eve. Snapchat ignored the warning.
Gibson Security then proceeded to hack them and stole all their user info which they posted online New Years Day, leaving out several digits of phone numbers and other personal info.
Snapchat management has since shut down their site.
