A hacker is selling a database with login details for two million high-paying users of the MyFreeCams adult video streaming and chat service.
The seller says that they obtained the database recently, following a successful SQL injection attack and that it can be used to steal the funds of premium members.
MyFreeCams is a popular adult video chat platform with tens of millions of users.
Free users can upgrade to a premium member account by purchasing tokens that can unlock otherwise restricted features or spent to tip the models.
On January 14, a hacker offered to sell a database containing usernames, plain text passwords, and emails belonging to two million paying MyFreeCams users.
The adult video chat platform proceeded to notify affected users and reset their passwords.
