Last year, an Instagram hack that posts pictures of fruit to users’ timelines surfaced twice — in June and July.

It seems like the hack has spread to Snapchat this time round, as Wired reports. The hack basically sends photos of smoothies with the URL of a scammy website to your friends. Snapchat tells Wired that it is aware of the hack and is tracking down the leak — but these are mostly cases in which someone gets into your account on the first try with your email address and password, instead of employing any brute-force tactics.

There are numerous reports of the latest Snapchat hack on Twitter. Needless to say, don’t click the link — and if you’ve been affected, do reset your Snapchat password.
