Anonymous Indian hackers claim to have leaked database of 1.7 million Snapchat users, which they hacked last year. Indian hackers are among the top Bug Bounty hunters in the world working of IT giants finding bug in their system. Hackers said they had found the bug earlier but never used the data but ‘arrogance’ of the Snapchat CEO had miffed them.
