Fappening Forum Users Hit by Data Breach, Malvertising, and Then by Ransomware

Posted on April 15, 2016 by Dissent

Some might say that there’s almost some poetic justice in this, but Catalin Cimpanu reports:

Users of The Fappening Forum, a place where aficionados once converged to share and collect images from the infamous celebrity nude photos leak, have had their personal details leak this week during a data breach.

There is no information available about the data breach, except the fact that Troy Hunt has recently added over 179,000 Fappening Forum records to the database of the Have I’ve Been Pwned? service.

According to Mr. Hunt, the forum’s database includes many .gov email addresses, and from the total of 179K leaked emails, 30% were already leaked via other data breaches.
