Snapchat HR employee leaks payroll data in CEO email scam

Snapchat’s HR department has inadvertently exposed confidential company data.

According to a blog post on the company’s website, a HR employee received an email from CEO Evan Spiegel requesting workers payroll information. However, the email was from an external address. The member of staff failed to recognise the message as a phishing email, and responded with the details requested.
