For those who haven't noticed that, they are censoring the last two digits of the phone numbers:

>>The company was too reluctant at patching the exploit until they knew it was too late Did they give Snapchat enough time to fix this before releasing this data? NOTE: I've heavily edited this comment because when I first read the website I thought snapchat ignored the people who found an exploit but re-reading, it's no longer clear to me that releasing this data is not pure malice. NOTE2: The link from couchdive's…

Why would you donate to these people? Because they're hurting Snapchat users? What is wrong with the people posting in this thread like this is some kind of good thing? Real people can be hurt by this.

Maybe no one would ever send him snaps. Either Way I find it more disturbing that an address he claims to own [1] is on this list [2]

It's taking too much time to download each file even they're 40 MB. I wish they put it on as torrent in the first place. Regarding the leak, yeah, that actually happens when you focus on the product but security and reliability of your system. Snapchat, Whatsapp and many others are hacked numerous times and yet it still happens.

I do not wish they would torrent this. People, think about it. Personal, private phone numbers. Why would you want this information? Seriously the comments here make me sad for humanity right now.

Agreed. I get that a lot of these responses may be knee-jerk, but that doesn't excuse it.

Looks like they are using WhoIsGuard to protect the domain whois information. The terms of WhoIsGuard[1] include not violating the privacy of others: > defame, abuse, harass, threaten or otherwise violate the legal rights (such as rights of privacy and publicity) of others; I've sent WhoIsGuard an email. Hopefully they'll revoke service. Shame on the people that published this private information. They aren't hurting…

Hrm... it's New Years Eve and people have taken off early, and I suspect that WhoIsGuard doesn't have round the clock support coverage. Disclaimer: pure speculation, but I think its fair to say the timing was strategic.
