Action Fraud have received over 300 reports since January about Snapchat accounts being compromised as a result of users being tricked into handing over 2FA (two-factor authentication) codes to criminals. In some cases, the victims are then extorted for money with the threat of having their private photos shared publicly.
TOP TIPS:
- Don't respond to messages that ask for your login details or 2FA codes. These can be used to compromise your accounts
- Use the report function within Snapchat to flag spam messgaes, or accounts that may have been hacked
- If you have been a victim of extortion, or attempted extortion, please report it to your local police force
