Snapchat devs explained how to create the database on Dez 27th:

  Theoretically, if someone were able to upload a huge set 
  of phone numbers, like every number in an area code, or 
  every possible number in the U.S., they could create a 
  database of the results and match usernames to phone 
  numbers that way.

Um..yeah..I just noticed that. That's REALLY embarrassing for them.


I submitted that blog post here because it was so irritating. I wasn't daring anyone to do anything and had nothing to do with snapchatdb.
