Snapchat users hit by ‘smoothie spam’ hack attack

The hack attack, luring users to click on snapfroot.com, has affected a lot of users’ accounts on the auto-destruct picture sharing service.
Snapchat users have been reportedly hit with a smoothie picture, containing a spam URL, directing them to weight-loss supplements.
Snapchat was recently affected by a hack attack that exposed phone numbers of millions of its users by a group that wanted to call attention to Snapchat’s security flaws.

According to Tech Crunch, Snapchat said that a small number of its users experience the spam incident where unwanted photos were sent from their accounts, adding that their security team was putting in additional measures to secure accounts.

Snapchat has asked users to use unique and strong password s to prevent abuse of their accounts.
