A few days ago, A former employee of Snapchat revealed that Evan Spiegel (Snapchat CEO) made a remark in 2015 that Snapchat was originally meant for rich people not poor countries like India and Spain.

Apparently this didn't go down too well with the Indians and sparked rage online. In response to that anonymous Indian hackers have claimed to leak the database of 1.7 million Snapchat users, which they hacked last year.


According to the hackers, they had found vulnerability in Snapchat database last year and had siphoned details of 1.7 million users.

Hackers leaked and made this data based available on the darknet to mark their resentment against the company's remark on India.Indian hackers are among one of the best in the world of IT and experts at bounty hunting.


Hackers said they had found the bug earlier but never used the data but the 'arrogance' of the Snapchat CEO annoyed them.

They have further threatened to carry out an intensive strike against the company on the virtual world till the CEO apologies for his remark.
Although, Snapchat has not confirmed any successful hack and leak yet.

In response to the comment, Indians started campaigning against the app and Snapchat's rating dropped to a 'single star' from an apparent 'five star' on the Apple App Store.

Snapchat is reportedly suing the employee to court.

You will see how the front page." See Nigerians reactions after Snapchat called them poor "

Lol

The guy really look for trouble.

Na only facebook and google get secured database every other tech coy could easily get hacked.

instead of spiegel to focus on how to stop zukerberg invasion,he is busy insulting nations

Unparalleled display of patriotism. Thumbs up Indians.

Theyve proved him wrong

Caliing the indians poor was uncalled for. Atleast the indians have shown them that they may be poor but not foolish

nice one.

Nigerians, that's how you react!

There are some things people should just keep to their chest. It's not everything that you're thinking that you pour out.

Btw, India has about 4 million snapchat users. That's impressive if you ask me.

LastMumu:
Well Snapchat still has 4.2 rating on Google play Store. Make Indians go siddon abeg.


For the guy that leaked such an information about his former employer, I can categorically say his career is done for. No one will trust him ever again, either as an employee or as a business partner.

good I like that judgement.

Maybe we should release the Database of Nairalanders tooo

Chai i cant fit laf

The CEO of SnapChat should apologize.

However that does not mean that the status of India and Spain have changed.

India has a rich heritage but in terms of the economy, India is not a rich nation! You know what that means.

It is the same way that Nigeria cannot be called an economicaly rich nation.

One day, India and Nigeria and Spain will get there if we put our acts to gether and stop corruption and corrupt leaders.
