HACKED: Skype and Snapchat compromised Snapchat
"Hackers" placed a list containing 4.6 million names and phone numbers of Snapchat users and compromised the social media accounts of Internet calling service Skype in two probably unrelated Cyberattacks.

A website called SnapchatDB.info made Snapchat user information available for download late on New Years Eve. The Cybercriminals announced, that it was an attempt to expose the vulnerability of users’ data, according to reports by tech news blog TechCrunch at The Verge. By Wednesday (January 1st, 2014) evening, the site had been suspended. Snapchat warned of this potential risk a few days prior in a blog post, saying, that a security group had alerted it about a potential vulnerability "by which one could compile a database of Snapchat usernames and phone numbers."

No one said that the Skype Service didnt work on those days. The Problem is, that the possibilty exists, that YOUR specific & Personal Data (adresses, facebook account(s), email adresses) are being shared by unauthorized Cybercriminal in some way or the other. THAT IS THE Problem. So hopefully yours (data) is not included.  HACKED: Skype and Snapchat compromised 52433

Do you have a AntiVirusApp on your Mobile ? If not, its time to get one. Very often Mobile Phone Users these days, continue using iphones & Androids (Smartphones) the way they used a few years ago, completly unaware that these mobile devices arent "telephones" anymore, the "phones" are mini-computers, and the same vulnerable like Desktops.
