Hacker allegedly breaches porn site, steals more than 237K accounts
No web-connected service is safe. If you need more proof of this, consider a recent alleged attack on a porn site that apparently gave a hacker access to more than 237,000 accounts. In the aftermath of the Apple vs. FBI squabble over iPhone encryption, this is a reminder that strong security is needed for connected devices and products.
According to Motherboard, an unknown hacker claims to have stolen the login credentials belonging to users of a porn website called Team Skeet, part of the Paper Street Media (PSM) network.
Motherboard was able to verify some of the credentials the hacker offered, but couldn’t confirm whether the hacker indeed had access to that many accounts or whether they were stolen in a recent heist.
