Hacker Leaked Snapchat Source Code.
The source code of the popular social media app Snapchat was recently surfaced online after a hacker leaked and posted it on the Microsoft-owned code repository GitHub.
A GitHub account under the name Khaled Alshehri with the handle i5xx, who claimed to be from Pakistan, created a GitHub repository called Source-Snapchat with a description "Source Code for SnapChat," publishing the code of what purported to be Snapchat's iOS app.
The underlying code could potentially expose the company's extremely confidential information, like the entire design of the hugely-successful messaging app, how the app works and what future features are planned for the app.
Snap told several online news outlets that an iOS update in May exposed a "small amount" of its iOS source code.
Although the company identified and rectified the mistake immediately, it discovered that some of the exposed source code had been posted online.
