What happened

In September 2022, the online photo sharing platform ClickASnap suffered a data breach.

Further, a collection of paid subscriptions were also included and contained names, physical addresses and amounts paid.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

• Change your ClickASnap password immediately, and update it anywhere you reused the same password.
• Enable two-factor authentication on the affected account and on your critical services (email, banking).
• Watch for targeted phishing emails referencing ClickASnap — attackers weaponise breach data quickly.
• Exposed identity data raises identity-theft risk — consider credit monitoring or a credit freeze.
• Check whether your email address appears in this breach on haveibeenpwned.com.
