Snap employee data exposed after breach at document company Elevate

Ephemeral messaging app Snap had employee data exposed by a breach at a third-party document analysis firm, according to a document reviewed by Reuters on Thursday.

Snap said it had been told by document analysis company Elevate that an unauthorized party had accessed some of Elevate’s computer systems in March 2022, according to a Sept. 13 letter to a former employee. That employee was told that their name, address, employment history and compensation information may have been among the affected files.
