Adult dating site reportedly hacked for second time
AdultFriendFinder has reportedly been hacked for the second time in 18 months, though the latest incident appears to be way more serious. Uncovered over the weekend by data leak information site LeakedSource, the October 2016 breach is thought to affect 340 million users of AdultFriendFinder, an online service that describes itself as "one of the world's largest sex hookup, dating, chat, sexy matches and adult friends sites in the world." The nabbed data, which is thought to comprise information going back to 1996 when the site launched, reportedly includes usernames, account passwords, email addresses, and the date of a user's last visit. The fact that old data has also been compromised suggests the operators of AdultFriendFounder failed to wipe the details of former users from its database when they closed their accounts. California-based AdultFriendFinder was also targeted by hackers in May last year.
