Given the nature of the Snapchat service, many of the images are expected to be of an explicit nature, while the young demographic of Snapchat's users could mean that some of the images released constitute child pornography.

The Snappening: Thousands of kids, some as young as 10, could have nude photos posted online



Apps such as Snap Save allow those who receive the pictures to save the image. But they deny being hacked.

Snapchat’s US owners insist their servers “were never breached”.

They said: “Snapchatters were victimised by their use of third-party apps to send and receive Snaps, a practise we expressly prohibit in our terms of use because they compromise users’ security.”
