A report found that Snap employees were abusing their access to Snapchat users’ personal data. The data includes saved Snaps, location data, email addresses and phone numbers. Experts are warning that insider threats will continue to be a top challenge for privacy.

In fact, according to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, privilege misuse and error by insiders account for 30 percent of breaches.
