Nearly 800,000 Porn Site Account Details Stolen in Data Breach
Entertainment
Nearly 800,000 usernames, email addresses and passwords for a porn site were exposed by a breach of a related forum.
Brazzers users’ information was accessed through a separate but related site, Brazzersforum, according to Motherboard. In the forum, users discuss the site’s productions or make requests for future productions.
“I used throwaway login/pass for this very reason,” a user told Motherboard.
A Brazzers spokesman told the publication that the forum is managed by a third party and pointed to a vulnerability in vBulletin software, which has been linked to other breaches and 27 million stolen accounts.
According to Have I been pwned?, the Brazzers accounts appear to be from 2013 and 67 percent of them were already in its database of compromised accounts.
