Hackers Expose 26,000 Sex Website Passwords

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."

    They must have a phemonenal amount of personal info on people based on web search alone, never mind everything else they do.

    Some Google engineers must have the ability (if not necessarily permission) to track the porn surfing habits of the vast majority of the world's internet surfers. Think how many powerful people that they could blackmail with this information.

    Don't fuck with Google ...

    If Anon hacked Google they'd have the dirt to blackmail the entire internet. They'd know who was researching how to kill their husband. They'd know who thinks what and who watches what porn.

    This is why your Google password should be at least 100 characters long, random, and impossible to remember.

    If it weren't for the stigma surrounding porn this would just be another hacked website. I still don't understand societies taboos about sexually related things. Especially when we are so accepting of of violence and death. The number of crime scene centric shows on public TV is staggering. The number of sex centric shows? Almost non-existent. People are perfectly fine looking a images of death and dismemberment, but put naked people on TV and it's a travesty. Personally I think the world would better off if people spent more time watching pornography than watching people get killed. Remember, you can have safe sex, you cannot have safe war!

      I still don't understand societies taboos about sexually related things.

      Its not about society in general. Its about a small fringe group who has some psychological hangup about sex and a penchant for causing trouble until they get their way.

      In my community, we had a local TV personality who was involved in the swinging life style. This was well known to those of us within that group and also known to their managers and coworkers, most of whom didn't give a damn. But thanks to continual pressure from the morally conservative nut jobs, this person was let go. As a result of this, that station had to cancel a number of popular local shows, and their ratings collapsed. Since then, they have not managed to hold together a stable local news staff (other stations poach their better reporters) and rumor has it that the morale at the station is pretty low. In hindsight, management would have been a lot better off telling the busy bodies to piss off. But they must have figured it was easier to avoid confrontation and capitulate.

      I don't know about you, but I don't want to risk my job to some manager's lack of character.

    Do we live in the Dark Ages...?/p>

    Uhm, yes. We could make a very good argument that we're in or entering another dark age. Education is on the wane while the disparity between wealthy and poor rapidly accelerates toward complete serfdom. The middle class is fast disappearing. Science is riddled with political agenda and strangled by the patent and copyright system, while many "peer reviewed" studies are really just simple corporate propaganda. The public domain (water, minerals, parks, roads, etc.) is being sold off to wealthy private and corporate interests. Draconian laws proliferate, making almost everything a serf might do a potential offense. (Steal a loaf of bread and you may well serve hard time, but wipe out someone's retirement, or foreclose on a home without a mortgage and you'll probably laugh about it on the golf course.) The haunting specter of "terrorism", real or imagined, has allowed many hard won personal rights to be effectively repealed, while a virtual witch hunt is in process. Virtually anyone is subject to a home invasion by authorities at any time without notice or significant recourse. The courts are stacked with political cronies, and few can afford a decent lawyer anyway. Fraud is rampant, yet rarely punished at the highest (most significant) levels. Government regulatory agencies are all captured and worse than ineffective. Naked resource wars are initiated unilaterally, as oil and other important resources dwindle. Unemployment and homelessness are rapidly rising, with no relief or government fix in the works. Retirement programs are in the sights for drastic cuts, as the moneyed interests refuse to cut bloated military budgets. The media is not obligated to tell the truth, so the masses are less informed then if they consumed no news. Resistance groups interested in not being in a dark age are infiltrated and rendered impotent in various other ways. The international moneyed powers are rapidly changing the governance of the world into something more hideous than anything the world has ever seen, while all eyes are on the insignificant spectacle of something else.

    Looks kinda dark to me!
