Gfycat (/ˈdʒɪfiːˌkæt/ JIFEE-cat)[1] was a user-generated short video hosting company founded by Richard Rabbat, Dan McEleney, and Jeff Harris.

It supported sixteen languages, including English, French, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, Japanese, Chinese (traditional and simplified), Korean, and Arabic.

In 2018 Gfycat had an alleged data breach; an estimated 8 million accounts were compromised, and its database was put for sale on the Dream Market.

Problems with uploading had been reported for months prior to the certificate's expiration, with a lack of response from the company's support.

On May 22, the TLS certificate was renewed, with a Snap Inc. spokesperson describing it as a "temporary issue", though problems with uploading to the site remained.
