Pornhub Hacked: 200M Users’ Search Data at Risk

On Friday, Pornhub confirmed it was among several companies affected by an earlier breach at the widely used web and mobile analytics provider Mixpanel, which exposed unspecified “analytics events” of some Pornhub Premium users.

On Monday, Bleeping Computer reported seeing a sample of the stolen Pornhub data, which included personal information associated with Pornhub Premium members, including their registered email addresses and location; activity type, such as which videos and channels they watched, including the video name and web address; keywords associated with the video; and the date and time that the event was recorded.

Right before the U.S. holiday of Thanksgiving, Mixpanel revealed a breach that it discovered on November 8, which affected its corporate customers, without saying which ones, nor how they were affected. OpenAI later confirmed it was one of those affected customers, as well as CoinTracker and SwissBorg.

Also on Friday, SoundCloud confirmed that about 20% of its users were affected by “unauthorized activity in an ancillary service dashboard,” likely referring to Mixpanel. The audio streaming giant said the stolen data includes email addresses and “information already visible on public SoundCloud profiles.”
