Porn Site Brazzers Hit With Forum Hack Exposing Nearly 800,000 Accounts!
Private account details for nearly 800,000 Brazzers accounts have been leaked as part of a massive data breach. The accounts were exposed via the popular porn site’s accompanying forum Brazzersforum. Additionally, some Brazzers account holders who never signed up for forum access may have been impacted by the hack.
Brazzers’ head of public relations, Matt Stevens, revealed that the unfortunate incident “matches” a prior breach that happened back in 2012. “The incident occurred because of a vulnerability in the said third party software, the ‘vBulletin‘ software, and not Brazzers itself,” Stevens confirmed Monday. “That being said, users’ accounts were shared between Brazzers and the ‘Brazzersforum‘ which was created for user convenience. That resulted in a small portion of our user accounts being exposed and we took corrective measures in the days following this incident to protect our users.”
The forum site currently displays a maintenance message, with the usual chat services unavailable for the time being. vBulletin breaches of this variety, have recently become relatively common. “Vulnerabilities have been found and patches have been issued yet the admins have maintained the product and very well-known, easily exploited vulnerabilities have led to breaches like this one,” Hunt said.
Using a throwaway email address and impersonal username and password combinations when signing up for these services can help lower the risk of being identified in a data dump.
