Security News > 2021 > February > Female escort review site data breach affects 470,000 members
An online community promoting female escorts and reviews of their services has suffered a data breach after a hacker downloaded the site's database.
The site is very active with over 2.4 million topics, 12.5 million posts, and over 470,000 members.
The site ran vBulletin 3.8.9, which has known vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to breach the site.
As the site uses MD5 hashed password, which can easily be cracked, it is strongly advised that members change their passwords at other sites using the same one.
Members of the EscortReviews.com site can also check if their information is part of the data breach using Cyble's AmIBreached data breach notification services.
Data breaches for adult sites, such as those promoting escort services or dating, can be devastating to members if their information is exposed publicly.
