Hackers Threaten to Expose Pornhub Premium Users
A group of hackers called ShinyHunters says they have stolen information from people who pay for special services on Pornhub.
They are threatening to share this information unless Pornhub pays them money in Bitcoin.
Pornhub has not said anything about this yet.
The hackers shared some of the stolen information, and a few people said it was real.
Pornhub had a problem with another company called Mixpanel before, but Mixpanel says this new problem is not their fault.
The hackers have done similar things to other companies before.
Mixpanel says the data was last accessed by a legitimate employee in 2023 and that it was not their fault if the data is now in the wrong hands.
Hacking group ShinyHunters claims to have stolen data from Pornhub Premium users.
They are demanding a ransom payment in Bitcoin to prevent the data from being published.
Pornhub and its parent company, Ethical Capital Partners, have not responded to the allegations.
Reuters partially authenticated the data sample provided by ShinyHunters.
Pornhub previously disclosed a cybersecurity incident involving Mixpanel, but Mixpanel denies any connection to the current breach and states the data was last accessed by a legitimate employee in 2023.
