Snapchat to release app update following leak
Photo messsaging service Snapchat hopes that an updated version of its popular app will put it on the path towards rebuidling customer trust after the data of 4.6 million of its users ended up online.
Late last week Snapchat published a blog post saying it would release an updated version of its popular app in order to remediate now heavily publicised issues with its Find Friends service, which lets users find other members using a phone number lookup method.
“We acknowledged in a blog post last Friday that it was possible for an attacker to use the functionality of Find Friends to upload a large number of random phone numbers and match them with Snapchat usernames,” the post said.
