#32So Snapsave, which saves photos and videos received in Snapchat on your own device, also uploads them to their servers? That's pretty damn creepy.
As do all the internet nodes, mobile network hubs and their accompanying spy/malware, that your pics use to travel from your phone to those servers...
Those aren't intentionally indexed and persisted.

#33I'm pretty sure this is a fake. This Kenny Withers guy - (NSFW) http://kennywithers.com/featured-online-marketing-articles/t... seems to be posting it to a bunch of different news sites who are all reporting it now. Tineye some of the images that are purportedly from the "leak", the few that I've checked have been around for a long time.
Agreed. I'd also be very surprised if Snapsave was routing user traffic through their servers. Apps like 6snap connect directly to Snapchat and everything works fine... so storing images on their own servers shouldn't be necessary.

I understand the confusion that you may have regarding this "Snappening" event. I am Kenny Withers, the one that chronicled the original chatter on 4chan and blogged about it. My only purpose for exposing this event was to create awareness of the now confirmed leak of almost 100,000 stolen images and videos from the snapsaved.com website. My website has suffered outages as a result of this event, the website overloaded my old webhost and they did not have the ability to scale to handle the traffic. I have since switched hosts.
