New SnapChat bug in smartphones

A new bug has been discovered in photo-sharing app, Snapchat, which can crash smartphones.

The security researcher Jamie Sanchez, reported that the app opens the auto photo and then starts to destroy the smartphone.The bug could allow hackers send millions of messages into the inbox, crash Iphones making the users restart their devices, and make Android devices go slowler. Snapchat has said that they're working to resolve the problem and would be reaching out to the security researcher who publicized the attack to learn more. The security researcher has complained that Snapchat has no respect for cyber security research community, which was proved recently when the service did not pay much heed to researchers' warning about a security hole that could expose user data and the researchers ultimately published phone numbers of about 4.6 million users to prove their point.
