(Getty Images) (Getty Images) (The Hill) — Snapchat will allow parents to view who their teen users are connecting with on the app without viewing the content of the messages, the company said in a blog post Tuesday.  The feature is under the new Family Center on the app and comes after increased scrutiny from lawmakers over youth safety on Snapchat and other apps.  Through the Family Center, parents can see who their teen users are friends with and communicating with, but it does not let them view the substance of the conversations.  Snapchat said the tool is designed to “reflect the way that parents engage with their teens in the real world, where parents usually know who their teens are friends with and when they are hanging out – but don’t eavesdrop on their private conversations.” Parents can also confidentially report any accounts that may be concerning to Snapchat.  Snapchat will roll out additional features to the Family Center in the fall, including content controls for parents and the ability for teens to notify their parents when they report an account or piece of content.  Over the last year, Snapchat and other social media apps have faced mounting pressure…

Snapchat is launching a new feature which will give parents some access into their children's activities on the platform. It requires the child's account to agree to link up with an account belonging to someone over 25, but the Family Centre tool will show parents their child's friends list and when they last spoke to each friend within the last week. The tool will not reveal the actual conversations, explained Snapchat's head of global platform safety Jacqueline Beauchere, who told Sky News the point is "insight" rather than "oversight".The idea is to reflect "the way that parents engage with their teens in the real world, where parents usually know who their teens are friends with and when they are hanging out - but don't eavesdrop on their private conversations"."Family Centre is about sparking meaningful, constructive conversations between parents and teens about staying safe online," added Ms Beauchere. "We hope that these features empower both parents and teens, by offering parents those critical insights into who their teens are connecting with on Snapchat, and at the same time safeguarding teens' needs for privacy and their growing independence." The company said the product was informed by a study it did with more…

Users of the multimedia instant messaging app have taken to Twitter to express dismay over the 3D bitmojis that became the default after a recent update. Snapchat appears to have decided that the 3D bitmojis are now the default for snapcodes. After a recent update, Snapchat users were shocked to find that 3D bitmojis on snapcodes are now the default and cannot be reverted back to its 2D versions, causing major backlash as seen in comments made by users on Twitter. Snapchat was developed by Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, and Reggie Brown, former students at Stanford University back in 2011. When it first launched, it became known as an app that took a new, mobile-first approach to social media, offering users a way to interact through messages and pictures that were only viewable for a short time. The app has grown in popularity in the last 11 years of existence, with developers adding several functionalities, including stickers. In 2016, Snapchat's parent company Snap Inc. acquired Bitstrips, which enabled users to design personalized avatars for comic strips. These avatars were then incorporated into stickers in Snapchat and are now used as profile pictures, emojis, and decorations on snapcodes, ScreenRant reported. But not…

Threat actors abuse open redirects on Snapchat and American Express to launch phishing attacks against Microsoft 365 users. Attackers abused open redirects on the websites of Snapchat and American Express as part of a phishing campaign targeting Microsoft 365 users. The term Open URL redirection, open redirects, refers to a security issue that makes it easier for attackers to direct users to malicious resources under the control of the attackers. Open redirect occurs when a website fails to validate user input, allowing attackers to manipulate the URLs of high reputation domains to redirect victims to malicious sites. Victims will trust the link because the first domain name in the manipulated link is a trusted domain like American Express and Snapchat. “The trusted domain (e.g., American Express, Snapchat) acts as a temporary landing page before the surfer is redirected to a malicious site.” reads a post published by Inky. “The following example shows an open redirect link. A surfer sees the link going to a safe site (safe.com) but may not realize this domain will redirect them to a malicious site (malicious.com), which may harvest credentials or distribute malware. http://safe.com/redirect?url=http://malicious.com “ During the two months, INKY researchers observed phishing attacks leveraging snapchatcom open…

Sunday, 7 August 2022 - 10:40 A teenager who shared the robbery of a meal delivery worker on his Snapchat last summer has been acquitted of complicity in the incident. An Amsterdam court ruled that there was no evidence the boy had known the robbery would take place before he filmed it, according to the NOS. In 2021, the 19-year-old filmed his friend stealing an order of food a meal delivery worker was carrying after threatening the worker with a knife. Afterwards, he shared the images on Snapchat with captions including "good man stolen food." The order for the meal came from the 19-year-old's phone and the knife used in the robbery was from his mother's kitchen. The prosecution stated that this –– along with his use of slang for the word "robbing" –– was evidence that he had knowingly cooperated in the robbery with his friend, who stole the food. However, the Amsterdam court disagreed that this meant the boy was complicit in the crime. Although he should not have filmed the robbery or eaten the stolen food, these were not reasons to charge the young man, according to the court. According to the NOS, meal deliverers often fall…
