Another day, and yet another site has fallen prey to hackers putting nearly 800,000 user accounts on porn site Brazzers at risk. While the cyber attack reportedly took place in 2012, the compromised account information have now made it to the dark web. The attack may was aimed at Brazzersforum, but since both sites shared user accounts even those who have not signed up for the forum are potentially at risk. The company has said that it has taken corrective measures, and Brazzersforum has been taken down for maintenance.
The hacked information from Brazzers was first spotted by data breach-monitoring site vigilante.pw, which then passed on the information to Motherboard for verification. According to the site, the hackers were able to get their hands on 790,724 unique email addresses, as well as usernames and passwords stored in plain text.
The total breach contained over 900,000 entries, but the publication says many were duplicates. Brazzers’ forums are used as a platform for users to discuss about videos, porn stars, and also request what scenarios should make it to the next video. While the two sites are different, a Brazzers spokesperson has confirmed that the user account details were shared between the platforms for “user convenience.” For the full article click here
