(Image credit: Nicholas Sutrich) Love it or hate it, Snapchat is an incredibly popular social media app, mainly due to disappearing messages that allow users to send text, images, and videos that expire after a period of time.

Fortunately, both the app and Google have been working to fix that, and one way is to bring the Pixel's impressive Night Sight feature to the app.In March, Google announced that Night Sight was coming to Snapchat on the Pixel 6 series.

Open-Redirect vulnerabilities in American Express and Snapchat are being exploited to carry out phishing scams, researchers have revealed. Scammers are exploiting open-redirect vulnerabilities in a new phishing campaign targeting Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace users.

Hence, the information turns into a sequence of random characters. INKY’s report further revealed that they observed threat actors hijacking unpatched redirect vulnerabilities on Snapchat and American Express domains between May and July. What Makes the Attack Effective? A trusted domain such as Snapchat serves as a temporary landing page, after which the visitor is redirected to a malicious…
