文句

Snapchat's story is disturbingly egregious; Gibson Security warned Snapchat in August of its security problems, and went public with claims when Snapchat refused to acknowledge what GibSec felt were issues that put users - such as themselves - at serious risk.

Snapchat did nothing. On Christmas Day, Gibson Security published Snapchat exploits (only a few of the ones GibSec found) in an attempt to spur Snapchat into action to take user safety and database security seriously.

to refuse to acknowledge  拒絕承認
