Snapchat has been hacked again, this time by a fruit smoothie enthusiast, according to TechCrunch.
The said hack has compromised several Snapchat accounts, according to a Twitter search. In this hacking attack, users seem to randomly send others a picture of a smoothie. Users are advised not to click on the URL on the smoothie photo, the report said.
Joe Brown, a writer at Wired, was one of those affected by the Snapchat smoothie hack. A spokesperson from Snapchat told him that there was no evidence that the accounts were opened by force. In addition, the messaging startup said someone had most likely acquired Brown's login details and accessed his Snapchat account easily, the report detailed.
This is the most recent high-profile hacking attacks that Snapchat has been hit with. In December 2013, a group who wanted to alert Snapchat about its security glitches exposed millions of its users' phone numbers. Just several days ago, another security flaw was discovered by a security researcher. The latter found out that hackers could crash a user's phone through Snapchat, the report explained.
Meanwhile, users are cautioned not to use the same login details for multiple websites and mobile apps. In addition, users should be careful of third-party services asking for their Snapchat login information, TechCrunch reported.
