Porn site Brazzers sees leak that leaves 800,000 users exposed

If you have an account with internet pornography network Brazzers, you may want to consider changing your password and any others which were associated with that account, as its details may well have been leaked. And unfortunately, even though the hack originated from the Brazzers forum, the details being leaked are not restricted to the accounts of people who posted there.

The official count on stolen credentials from Brazzers websites is 928,072 accounts, though Motherboard has it that, accounting for duplicates, the real number sits at 790,724 accounts (as per Vice). That’s the number of email addresses that were retrieved by security monitoring firm Vigilante, though the leaked data is also said to contain plain-text passwords and usernames associated with those emails.

The only silver lining to all this is that it’s likely that the data is old. In a statement, a Brazzers spokesperson claimed that the data appears to match a breach that occurred in 2012. That means that as long as you have changed your details since then, you’re likely absolutely fine.
