Adult Friend Finder hacked, 412 million users compromised

Personal details of more than 412 million subscribers to Adult Friend Finder and other hookup sites was breached.

In what could rival the size and impact of an earlier hack of MySpace, usernames, purchasing patterns, internet addresses and passwords of more than 412 million subscribers were exposed after Adult Friend Finder was breached last month.

In a number of instances, passwords stored in clear text are visible, and in other cases passwords hashed with SHA1 were easily cracked, according to breach notification website LeakedSource. If preliminary reports prove true, this would be the worst hack of 2016, outdoing the MySpace hack whose tally reached 360 million.
