Photo-messaging service Snapchat has been actively urging users to stay away from third-party apps after recent security breaches and it would appear Microsoft has joined the company in the crusade.



From Silicon Republic:

Last month, Snapchat began notifying users when a third-party app has been detected on their device before requesting they change their password and cease using the unauthorised service.

The new measures were introduced after hundreds of thousands of images were posted online in a leak dubbed ‘The Snappening’. Hackers obtained the pictures by targeting the website Snapsaved.com, a third-party service that allowed the app to be used on a desktop computer.
