To be fair the app itself wasn't compromised, heck even the server wasn't breached, it was just a database open for everyone!
Thats true of the first hack, the photos. But I dont believe that is true for the 2nd, the messages.
Everything works as it has been designed. I wonder which companies will start using this excuse after being hacked.
> it was just a database open for everyone!

Most likely, you're being sarcastic, but just to put this out there, that would be like me publishing an app where you just write text into a box and click submit and I promise in the app store info and privacy policy that submitting it just causes it to get erased, but the information is actually being sent to all your worst enemies.
