My SnapChat got hacked. Is this a big deal?

I was reading this Yahoo news story:

http://news.yahoo.com/were-details-compromised-snapchat-hack-102822667.html

In the story there's a link to see if your snapchat got hacked. I put in my snap name and it's telling me it was hacked.

Is this a big deal? I literally have nothing to hide; I've never sent a snap that I'd be embarrassed to see surface. I'm just curious because I keep reading articles saying if you've been hacked, you should delete your snapchat/change your number/etc.

Thanks.

The hackers published all the phone numbers but only censored the last two digits just so you know.

This explains all the spammy texts I've been getting.

Oh well, it's totally worth the occasional 2 second tit pic.

I would think they hack your account to use it to send snaps to other people with advertisements on them.

Lol, how is that good advertisement? Hack phones and promote your company through it? Pretty low.

They may also try to gain access to websites that use your cell # to send passwords
