A database of intercepted Snapchat photos and videos has been released by hackers who have allegedly been collecting the files for years.



The database involves a 13 gigabyte library of Snapchats that users thought had been deleted.



Users of '4Chan' have downloaded the files, and are currently in the process of creating a searchable database allowing people to search the stolen images by Snapchat usernames.



They're referring to the hack as "The Snappening."
