SnapChat DoS attack

People are getting DoS'd through snapchat. On android, it slows things down for a while. On iphone, the entire thing freezes until you hard reset it.

The moral of this story is don't get an iphone.

I'd say the moral is to not use snapchat, though I suppose not getting an iphone could be a secondary moral.

Ratburntro, you're reading too deeply into the story.

But yeah, snapchat is not a secure app to have. Apparently they don't take security very seriously and there have been a lot of security exploits that went unresolved for a long time.

I'm not really sure how so many people seem to think that because they're using snapchat nobody will ever be able to save their pictures. Of course, that problem is only the most obvious of many.

I save all the snapchats I get because I hate seeing things get destroyed permanently. Snapchat is like the Demon of Destruction.
