Nonetheless, there are a few silver linings in there too. The statistics reveal a few extremely unsettling statistics, questioning the app’s future. In a surprising turn of events, The Daily beast’s Taylor Lorenz reviewed “five months of confidential DAU metrics for nearly every feature in the app.” It’s hardly been 10 days into 2018 and the year seems to have taken a toll on Snapchat. “The company was too reluctant at patching the exploit until they knew it was too late and companies that we trust with our information should be more careful when dealing with it.We pick the 10 most important statistics from the Leaked Snapchat Data for brands and agencies out there. “This information was acquired through the recently patched Snapchat exploit and is being shared with the public to raise awareness on the issue,” says the owner of SnapchatDB.
