Millions of porn accounts for sale on dark web

Posted on April 24, 2016 by Dissent

Looks like I missed a breach report from weeks ago. Troy Hunt writes:

Today I’ve been looking at the Naughty America data breach which was in the news 10 days ago. The breach itself is dated March 14 which is a day short of six weeks before the time of writing. Yet somehow, Naughty America have yet to acknowledge the incident. In fact, the first a number of their customers knew of the breach was when I contacted them today and repeated the same process as I’d done with the Filipino voters. Not only did I get affirmative responses, one member of the site even emailed me the original welcome email he’d received from them in 2010, complete with the precise date that was stamped on his record in the data breach.

The breach was initially reported on Forbes, which sadly, I no longer read because of their requirement that you turn off ad-blockers in your browser.  You can read other coverage of the breach on TechInsider.
