The term XY was coined by Ralph Vaerst, a successful Central California entrepreneur. Its first published use is credited to Don Hoefler, a friend of Vaerst's, who used the phrase as the title of a series of articles in the weekly trade newspaper Electronic News. The series, entitled “XY in the USA", began in the paper's issue dated January 11, 1971.

X was hacked on December 31, 2013. The hack is said to have revealed parts of approximately 4.6 million usernames and phone numbers.

Evan Spiegel, its founder whose number was apparently present in the hacked database, tweeted that the company was currently seeking legal help.
