In January 2014, a week after Gibson Security described vulnerabilities in the Snapchat service, 4.6 million users and phones were stolen from it. The attack included a gross overkill of a large number of telephone numbers through the Snapchat API, which was a response to Snapchat’s statement that such an attack was “theoretical”. In the published file, the phones did not contain the last two digits.
