55 Porn Sites Hacked (26,000 emails/passwords compromised from Pron.com)

No prizes for guessing who did this...

After high profile takedowns of PBS and Sony, the anarchic hacker group LulzSec now seems determined to maximize its exploits’ embarrassment factor.

On Friday afternoon the group announced that it had stolen and posted administrative emails and passwords for 55 porn sites, along with another 26,000 emails and passwords for users of the sex site Pron.com.

“Hi! We like porn (sometimes), so these are email/password combinations from pron.com which we plundered for the lulz,” reads a statement posted to the group’s website Lulzsecurity.com.

Those email addresses can’t be used to access users’ accounts on Pron.com without an additional username. But the posted data violates those users’ privacy on a more basic level, exposing them as visitors to the highly not-safe-for-work site. The group took special pleasure in pointing out that six of those users had signed up for the site using their government or military .gov and .mil email accounts.

LulzSec, a which has ties to the hacker collective Anonymous, has become one of the least predictable forces in the world of cybersecurity since it emerged just two weeks ago. After defacing the website of PBS and exposing many of its employees’ personal information in retaliation for a negative documentary program on WikiLeaks, it proceeded to target Sony, compromising one million passwords and leaking the source code for the Sony Computer Entertainment Developer Network.

In just the last 24 hours, LulzSec seemed to temporarily adopt more “whitehat” hacker practices, notifying the British National Health Service to password vulnerabilities on its network and taking down a Muslim extremist website. But the latest porn hack shows just how wildly the group is varying its targets. “We have no direct plans for targets today, but we’ll think of something,” LulzSec wrote on its Twitter feed just hours earlier. “Improvisation is a required Lulz Boat skill!”

Saw some of the passwords by accident (being serious) and my god are they ridiculous. So simple. Not sure how this was done though.

You can find them by searching. Not gonna post a link since the combos will probably work with FB and other stuff (and I don't want to help them).

However, here is something pretty harmless:
password -> frequency
-------------------------
123456 -> 669 (0.03 %)
123456789 -> 211 (0.01 %)
12345 -> 110 (0 %)
1234 -> 74 (0 %)
12345678 -> 71 (0 %)
1234567 -> 64 (0 %)
| -> 63 (0 %)
password -> 62 (0 %)
The top ten used passwords. Not surprising.

Nope, from their twitter

"LulzSec The Lulz Boat
Props to Facebook security for locking all emails located on our list so fast. That's the kind of security that earns a tip of our hat.

Ah that's cool of facebook to do!

I doubt gmail and/or other services have reacted that quickly though. I hope they have.

Yea I suppose. Not sure if that's just a formatting error though. Another popular one is

Saw this last night. People are re-tweeting about getting into people's facebook/email based on these usernames and passwords and defacing them :/

That would be.. interesting.. and terrifying, funny, crazy, infuriating, sadness inducing and a pain.

We will stand united. Put behind us all disagreements and fight back
or we all get destroyed

If people used shitty passwords to register for a porn site, does that not indicate that the password was a throw-away one and is most likely useless on any other site

That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage!

Porn password hacks? YOU DON'T SAY.

There used to be entire message boards dedicated to people hacking passwords from porn sites before streaming took off. They might still be around for all I know.

Lulzsec is dumb.

They're still around, and yeah it's nothing new.
 
All this hacking has convinced me to change some passwords.

I used to have three tiers.

Throwaway websites
Emails/facebook
Banks

Looks like I need more tiers.

what would be the point of doing it now if you're going on the basis that the new ones would be exposed later?

Same here. Juniors from this years E3 were so goddamn annoying...

It was painful reading a lot of what I read, especially in the Zelda/Nintendo threads.

That said, again...who the hell is registering here ESPECIALLY with their work e-mails, good god.

Another site without encrypted passwords? Salting should be legally enforced. Hopefully this will lead to some law passed that enforces the basics of securities.

but gaming side told me we won't need basic security so long as we kill all hackers.
