“The Snappening”—a leak of approximately 90,000 photos and 9,000 videos stolen off the mobile app Snapchat. The Daily Beast can confirm that despite rumors of a hoax, the leak is genuine, and most of the affected users hail from Europe, which makes up 32 percent of its overall audience, according to Snapchat. Unlike “The Fappening,” the victims are split fairly evenly between males and females, but like “The Fappening,” much of the content is explicit in nature.
The 13.6 GB file was first posted online via viralpop.com, a bogus website. Soon after, the site was deleted—but not before thousands of people downloaded the large file of stolen photos and videos, which was once again shared like crazy on 4chan and Reddit.*
