The top comment on Reddit r/netsec's corresponding coverage has mirrors on Mega.co.nz for the files [1] I couldn't find my own data in the set, and actually it seems like lots of entire area codes are missing.

Here is a video of guy hacking SnapChat and finding out Mark Zuckberg's logging info like phone#, email. The video was posted on Dec 26th. How come they did not fix this.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEWugKX98P0

How long until somebody releases an updated snapchat database linking pinterest profile pictures? I mean if you chose a very unique username, and went to http://pinterest.com/username, you'd be able to discover what they possibly look like. It doesn't end there, their email address is probably username@gmail.com too. simply googling the username results in connecting their twitter? facebook? myspace? linkedin? full name, more pictures, your friends, your interests, your likes. All in all, I would have to say, this can be potentially a far bigger loss of privacy than just your Snapchat account.

Damn that 3 billion dollar looks good about now.

It had never occurred to me that cell phone operators would use area codes. In my small home country, there is basically one 'area code' per cell phone operator. First lesson learnt in 2014! :)

In my experience in the US, the carriers/operators have an area code or two, but it's in the local area code rather than regional area code.

10-digit example: XXX - YYY - zzzz

The leaked data area codes are represented by the regional/XXX block and the carriers are in the local/YYY block in the 10-digit example.

Download links were broken for me so I've mirrored them here (converted from zip to bzip2): CSV: http://evilrouters.net/schat.csv.bz2 SQL: http://evilrouters.net/schat.sql.bz2

Or just use port 8080 to bypass their Varnish server:

Snapchat devs explained how to create the database on Dez 27th:

  Theoretically, if someone were able to upload a huge set 
  of phone numbers, like every number in an area code, or 
  every possible number in the U.S., they could create a 
  database of the results and match usernames to phone 
  numbers that way.

Um..yeah..I just noticed that. That's REALLY embarrassing for them.

All phone numbers in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) are allocated first as area codes by region and then by prefix for smaller locations. Some states, like Wyoming, have a single area code (307) while metro areas, like Houston, can have multiple area codes (713, 281, 832, 346) all covering the same physical place. This is a holdover of calling party pays so that a caller will know where a given phone number "lives." This distinction has become less visible with the advent of local number portability and nationwide mobile roaming.

(The NANP covers Canada, the Northern Mariana Islands, the United States, and a large list of island nations in the North American area.)
