	"plain_text": "Snapchat Cyberattack Claimed By SN Blackmeta Hacker Group\r\nPublished: 2024-06-12 · Archived: 2026-04-05 16:32:57 UTC\r\nThe notorious hacker group SN Blackmeta has allegedly claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Snapchat’s\r\ninfrastructure. The Snapchat cyberattack has reportedly led to disruptions in service in specific regions and the\r\ndisabling of login and account creation features within the app. \r\nIn a post attributed to SN Blackmeta, the threat actor outlined their motives for the cyberattack on Snapchat, citing\r\nreasons such as their opposition to the content promoted by the social media platform, which they claim includes\r\npornography and undermines moral values. \r\nAdditionally, the group accuses the application of supporting Israel while opposing efforts in support of Palestine.\r\nThese grievances, according to SN Blackmeta, prompted them to target Snapchat as a means to “test their\r\nstrength.”\r\nDecoding the Snapchat Cyberattack by SN Blackmeta \r\nhttps://thecyberexpress.com/sn-blackmeta-claim-snapchat-cyberattack/\r\nPage 1 of 4\n\nSource: X\r\nThe claimed Snapchat cyberattack has allegedly resulted in service disruptions in certain countries and the\r\ntemporary incapacitation of key features within the Snapchat application.\r\nhttps://thecyberexpress.com/sn-blackmeta-claim-snapchat-cyberattack/\r\nPage 2 of 4\n\nDespite SN Blackmeta’s claims, Snapchat has not yet released an official statement about the incident, leaving the\r\ndetails of the cyberattack unconfirmed. The Cyber Express has reached out to the company, and we are currently\r\nawaiting their response. \r\nSource: X\r\nInterestingly, this isn’t the first time SN Blackmeta has made headlines for their cyber activities.\r\nhttps://thecyberexpress.com/sn-blackmeta-claim-snapchat-cyberattack/\r\nPage 3 of 4\n\nIn the past few days alone, the group has launched attacks on various targets, including the Social Security\r\nAdministration (SSA) website and Microsoft’s OneDrive. These attacks aim to disrupt services and hinder user\r\naccess, demonstrating the group’s proficiency in executing cyber warfare.\r\nThe recent surge in cyberattacks by SN Blackmeta comes amidst a backdrop of escalating tensions in the digital\r\nworld. Other hacktivist groups have also been active, targeting prominent organizations and government entities\r\nwith coordinated attacks.\r\nPrevious Cybersecurity Challenges\r\nThe current Snapchat cyberattack is not the first time that the Snap INC-owned platform has faced cybersecurity\r\nchallenges. The most recent controversy with Snapchat was reported by Vice in May 2019 wherein researchers\r\ndiscovered that Snapchat employees were misusing their access privileges to spy on users. This breach of trust\r\nraised concerns about user privacy and data security within the platform.\r\nBetween January 2014 and February 2018, Snapchat faced a series of cybersecurity challenges. In July 2017, a\r\nphishing attack compromised over 55,000 accounts by luring users to a fake login page. The attackers then\r\npublished stolen credentials, granting unauthorized access. \r\nIn February 2016, a phishing scam targeted Snapchat employees, resulting in the disclosure of payroll\r\ninformation. The October 2014 incident involved a third-party app hack, leaking 200,000 explicit images. Though\r\nSnapchat denied system compromise, blame was placed on the app providers. \r\nIn January 2014, a security vulnerability led to the exposure of 4.6 million user details, despite Snapchat’s claim\r\nof addressing the issue promptly. As for the current Snapchat cyberattack claim, this is an ongoing story and The\r\nCyber Express will be closely monitoring the situation. We’ll update this post once we have more information on\r\nthe alleged cyberattack on the social media platform or any official confirmation from Snap INC. \r\nMedia Disclaimer: This report is based on internal and external research obtained through various means.
