If you are a follower of Brazzers You have a reason to worry as the forum of the popular adult content page has just been attacked by a group of hackers who claim to have managed to steal the access credentials and server data of none other than 800.000 accounts. If you are a customer of the service, you are also at risk since, although you have never accessed the forum, the server also contained information related to all its customers.
According to the data published and leaked by those responsible for the attack on this platform, apparently they have specifically managed to 790.724 unique email addresses as well as usernames and passwords stored in plain text files. All these data have been confirmed by Motherboard, which ensure that this database was sent to them by vigilante.pw to verify its authenticity.
About 800.000 user accounts stolen from Brazzers
Based on the statements of Matt Stevens, the director of public relations for Brazzers, the leak in particular appeared to have occurred in an incident that occurred in 2012 at Brazzersforum, when it was managed by an outside platform. The incident took place due to a vulnerability in vBulletin software, and not on the Brazzers network.
Despite the fact that, as you can see, the head of public relations at Brazzers seems literally «shirk»And comments that all the fault is of this forum, at that time, outside the Brazzers network, it recognizes that both Brazzers and Brazzersforum accounts were shared with each other automatically with the idea of facilitating the passage for users. This is precisely what has caused a small part of users who, apparently, had never accessed the forum, have been affected.
