The report describes a social-engineering campaign in which an individual harvested Snapchat login security codes from hundreds of users (571 codes harvested, at least 59 accounts accessed), obtained protected content (including nude images), and sold account access as a hacker-for-hire; it also covers privacy invasions by AI-equipped smart glasses used to covertly record and publish footage of women, and offers mitigation guidance such as adopting passkeys and being cautious with one-time codes.
