Brazzers Porn Site's Forum Hacked, Exposes Data Of 800,000 Users (vice.com)

Forum of porn website Brazzers has been hacked, exposing the data of as many as 800,000 users, reports Motherboard. Though the data originated from the company's separate forum, the report adds, Brazzers users who never signed up to the forum may also find their details included in the dump. From the report: Motherboard was provided the dataset by breach monitoring site Vigilante.pw for verification purposes. The data contains 790,724 unique email addresses, and also includes usernames and plaintext passwords. (The set has 928,072 entries in all, but many are duplicates.) Troy Hunt, a security researcher and creator of the website Have I Been Pwned? helped verify the dataset by contacting subscribers to his site, who confirmed a number of their details from the data.

I happened to check when these 928,072 entries were from on vigilante.pw. And they show it from April of 2013. This seems to be from a dump over 3 years ago. I think that should be in the news article....
