Lets check it out how one can find whether their username and password was not stolen.
GS lookup is a free online tool which tell you whether your username is effected in the data breach or not. Just simple open up the website and enter your username detail. It will search your username in the 4.6 million leaked data, If it will be found, it will suggest you what to do next. If not , then you are good to go. Here's what you can do , if your username is stolen,
Solution
First and foremost, you can delete your Snapchat account - sadly, this won't remove your phone number from the already circulating leaked database.
If you feel that you'd rather unscrupulous entities not potentially have your phone number, you're free to contact your phone TelCo, and request that they give you a new number. If you detail the breach, they'll almost certainly give you a new one.
Lastly, ensure that your security settings are up to scratch on your social media profiles. Be careful about what data you give away to sites when you sign up - if you don't think a service requires your phone number, don't give it to them.
