The registrantвЂ™s name is protected, but its mailing address and contact number are both listed in Panama.

The Next Web did a WHOIS lookup on SnapchatDBвЂ™s domain and found it was created just yesterday on December 31.

SnapchatDB said it вЂњcensored the last two digits of the phone numbersвЂќ in order to вЂњminimize spam and abuse,вЂќ but it might still release the unfiltered data, including millions of phone numbers.

If you have not been able to download the list, you can use this site created by developer Robbie Trencheny to see if your username was included. On Hacker News, several people have had trouble downloading the data files (I just got an error message for both of them, but that may be because of high traffic), but a Jailbreak subredditВ userВ who saw the list said that only numbers in some parts of the U.S. A reader also told us he found his own number, that of several friends and Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel in the list. You wouldnвЂ™t want to eat at a restaurant that spends millions on decoration, but barely anything on cleanliness.Д®arlier we speculated that SnapchatDB might be a hoax meant to call attention to the appвЂ™s security issues but, as it turns out, itвЂ™s realвЂ“at least one member of our editorial team has been affected. It is a secondary goal for them, and that should not be the case. Our main goal is to raise public awareness on how reckless many internet companies are with user information. We wanted to minimize spam and abuse that may arise from this release. Their latest changes are still not too hard to circumvent. It is still possible to scrape this data on a large scale. Once we started scraping on a large scale, they decided to implement very minor obstacles, which were still far from enough. Even long after that disclosure, Snapchat was reluctant to taking the necessary steps to secure user data. SnapchatД¬ould have easily avoided that disclosure by replying to GibsonsecвЂ™s private communications, yet they didnвЂ™t. We used a modified version of gibsonsecвЂ™s exploit/method.
