Nottingham Post Icon News Nottingham News Courts He told the total stranger 'I want your body, you are amazing' Martin Naylor Courts and legal affairs correspondent 14:48, 05 Mar 2026 A Nottingham teenager hacked a young woman’s Snapchat account and threatened to share intimate photographs he found on there. Nottingham Crown Court was told how Nathan Raynor messaged the victim - a total stranger - saying “I want your body, you are amazing”.

Handing him a two-year community order, Judge Michael Auty KC said: “You are 19 now and you were 17 at the time and it plain you were attracted to her and it is plain you wanted these images. “It was a deeply mean, spiteful and nasty series of events which has caused her unimaginable suffering.” Tony Stanford, prosecuting, said the victim contacted the police in early September, 2024, to report how someone had tried to hack her Snapchat account, got hold of the images and threatened

Why Snapchat Is The New Dating App – Her Campus

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at PSU chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus. For years, people have been falling in love through dating apps. Apps like Tinder and Hinge turned love into a swipe-based game, where you could easily match with someone online. But recently, Gen Z and millennials seem to be rejecting dating apps and turning to a different app: Snapchat.  When you think of Snapchat, you don’t typically think of it as a dating app. While your Snapchat profile reveals things like your birthday, astrology sign and snap score, that’s typically all the information it limits you to. Even Instagram profiles give you more information than Snapchat. The app is simply used for messaging and is built around disappearing videos and photos. Yet, college and high school students are forming romantic relationships through it.   Unfortunately, as women, we no longer live in a “rom-com” world where a man will approach you and ask you for your number. Connections are rarely made in person anymore, which is why we have resorted to apps like Snapchat. If a man is bold enough to ask you for a form of contact, he isn’t asking for your number; he is asking for your Snap. If you have a man’s number, that likely means your relationship has been taken to the next

Fake DOD memo about ‘compromised’ apps shows swift spread of deceptive messaging

Yuliya Taba / Getty By David DiMolfetta Cybersecurity Reporter, Nextgov/FCW March 2, 2026 09:22 AM ET Infowar Iran Cyber A purported U.S. Cyber Command memo claiming that multiple apps were “compromised” and could be revealing servicemembers’ locations is fake, a DOD official confirmed to Defense One.  “The command did not issue messages to U.S. service members to turn off location services on their electronic devices and did not issue messages that applications had been compromised,” the official wrote. “Due to operational security concerns, U.S. Cyber Command does not comment nor discuss cyber intelligence, plans, operations, capabilities or effects.” The fake message claimed that Uber, Snapchat, and Talabat —a Middle East grocery service— were compromised and could reveal the location of service members. Some versions circulated also appear to say that locations of service members within the continental U.S. were also compromised.  Uber late Sunday said there were no indications of compromise. A Snapchat spokesperson echoed that sentiment. Talabat did not return a request for comment by publishing time.  The message began circulating in military service member chats, social media groups on Sunday evening, one day after the United States and Israel began attacking Iran. It was also shared in non-public
