So this looks like HR or someone from inside snapchat got a phishing email and happily obliged and sent off a bunch of sensitive information without confirming that it should all be shipped over (unsecure) email.

I do work for some higher ed institutions, and almost every year without fail we have seen (and dealt with) successful phish attempts of various staff members... it's usually something small like a credit card number, but it still amazes me how an email that may look "very suspicious" to me doesn't set of a flag for someone else who isn't really thinking about this type of attack.
