A third party chat service reportedly failed to take appropriate precautions in securing the data of the users of YouPorn as confirmed by spokeswoman of YouPorn Kate Miller. It is believed that due to this failed function of the third party chat, it gives an oppotunity of the hacker to conduct a security breach and accessed all the accounts of YouPorn users.
The hacker was able to publicized the list of users' emails and passwords. The hacker was also able to convert passwords into a plain text. It is said that there were 6, 400 passwords circulating arround the web.
This security breach of YouPorn can be considered as a high profile issue since the said website is included of the top 100 most visited website worldwide.
Many users were already threatened because some or shall I say most of them were can be easily identified with ther emails and passwords. But the thing the those users can be threatened the most is if they're using those accounts to other important accounts online.
The leason here is that never use the same accounts in any malicious sites and just never enter to any pornographic sites.
