Adult live-streaming site CAM4 leaks millions of emails, private chats
2020-05-06 10:59

Adult live-streaming site CAM4 has spilt millions of users' private chats, emails, names, email addresses, sexual preferences, password hashes, IP addresses and more.

A streaming site for amateurs to watch live, explicit performances, it offers customers the ability to buy virtual tokens if they want to tip performers or watch private shows.

Whenever an adult-themed site leaks data, the specter of extortion arises.

That's what happened after Ashley Madison, the hook-up site for adulterers, was breached in 2015, with the subsequent exposure of names, email addresses and sexual fantasies of nearly 40 million users.

Safety Detectives suggests that the full names, emails and password hashes leaked by CAM4 might also lead to identity theft, phishing scams and website attacks.
