Anonymous Indian hackers claim to have posted the personal details of 1.7 million Snapchat users on the deep web, in response to the app's CEO allegedly calling India a "poor country".
Snapchat denies that any hack has taken place, and also denies that CEO Evan Spiegel ever said the app was "only for rich people" and not for "poor countries like India and Spain", as Variety magazine reported.
But that hasn't stopped angry Indian consumers dragging the app's rating from five stars down to one on the Apple store, launching #UninstallSnapchat and #BoycottSnapchat campaigns on Twitter, and allegedly compromising nearly 2 million accounts.
