Hackers Expose 26,000 Sex Website Passwords

Posted by samzenpus on from the naming-names dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Passwords and email addresses of almost 26,000 members of adult website Pron.com have been released on the internet by the notorious hacking group LulzSec. To add to the victims' humiliation, LulzSec called on its followers to try the email/password combinations against Facebook, and tell friends and family of the users that they were subscribers to a pornographic website. In addition LulzSec released passwords belonging to the administrators of dozens of other adult websites, and highlighted military and government email addresses that had signed up for the xxx-rated services."

      Why don't you use dude@example.com or nospam@example.org? Almost no sites filter it, and there's no chance of it causing spam for anyone.

    It's going to cost, one way or another. The cheapest I ever had cost a draft beer, the most expensive cost me a house, a car, and part of my pension. Granted, that last one lasted 27 years...

    But porn? Paying for porn is like paying for kittens.

    to play devils advocate for a sec, exposing such a breach means that pron.com *has* to notify their subscribers in addition to patching the vulnerability, whereas a similar breach using the same exploit for direct criminal reasons might get hushed up in order to avoid losing business

    They are telling people to go and destroy peoples lives.
    Telling them to log into their Facebook accounts and tell their families about their porn habit?

    So if a guy or girl is secretly going to gay porn sites, and his or her parents are religious, what kind of damage could that do?

      Ding ding ding! You just figured out what's wrong with 4chan, /b/, Anonymous, etc.
      There is no "they" there. Some are do-gooders. Some are do-badders. Some do anything for "lulz", even if it hurts someone. Some are "white-knights".
      So while on the one hand "they" fight to expose corporate and governmental corruption, on the other hand "they" are laughing because some naive kid's life just got ruined.

    Gratuitous use of `cat' (and `echo', but at least that one's probably a built-in). Try this instead:


    #!/bin/sh

    for addr in `awk '{print $1}' ~/lulsec_passwords.txt` ; do
            sendmail -s "Thank you very much" $addr << EOF
    I wanted to personally thank you for paying for porn and thereby funding the creation of the content I download for free.

    Sincerely P. R. Vert

    done
