I knew I shouldn't have signed up for Snapchat, never freaking used it, and now my phone number-username identity has been leaked.

#202What I want to know is what kind of asshole it takes to do things like this?
Great, Snapchat isn't secure, and they probably didn't give a damn when notified of the vulnerability (not surprising, given their cavalier attitudes), but why expose their audience in order to prove a point?
Not cool man.

Hmm, I somewhat disagree. Private information is anything you don't want public. By protocol, it isn't strictly private. But a phone number is private/unknown until its known, which is how most of us prefer it. For example, in implicit social code it is impolite to give away a friend's phone number without asking them first.
Seriously? Ever heard of whitepages.com?
I don't think whitepages has every name and phone number ever created

Not to mention I don't think most of snapchats target audience even cares about this issue. My 20 year old sister certainly doesn't.
I'd be surprised if most of them are even aware of it, let alone care about it.
It's on the front page (below the fold) of Buzzfeed. I think it's gonna be a big deal. Privacy was a key selling point.

You guys are huge cock suckers... You just upvoted a database leaking millions of people's phone number but when somebody posts Zuck's phone number... Oh no! You should delete that. He's not a king guys.
like other people are saying -- HN is news by committee. just try to post a joke on here one day & see how many rapid downvotes it gets if you ever need proof of how lame & uptight the HN crowd can be once they hit that 500 rep. i posted a joke on a comment of someone going "This. A million times this." the other day cuz that is the most melodramatic, overused, annoying, lame textual meme... the joke was pretty innoc…
feeling that they are the protectors of society...
Not society, just the SNR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio).

Probably because someone else would have, or already has, and kept it secret instead. What you don't know can hurt you.
