Snap Employee Data Exposed After Breach at Document Company Elevate
Ephemeral messaging app Snap had employee data exposed by a breach at a third-party document analysis firm, according to a document reviewed by Reuters on Thursday.
The letter said Snap was terminating its relationship with Elevate, which also provides services to law firms, according to its website.
A Snap spokesperson confirmed only that an unspecified outside vendor experienced a data breach that “exposed personal information of some of our current and former team members,” adding that no Snapchat users were affected.
Snap said it had notified the people affected and would not use the vendor for similar services in the future.
A spokesperson for Elevate declined to comment.
Reuters was not immediately able to determine who else received the letter or how many other employees or former employees may have been affected by the breach.
