Don’t worry though, because there’s no way your ID verification for adult sites will ever get leaked
Millions of fake IDs have been leaked.
Dunno why your obvious joke about the effectiveness of age verification was downvoted
It has ONE downvote.
Approximately as many as this comment!
Edit: this ratio is wild.
Not sure if this hack has a name, but usually once someone in a comment tree makes a joke about downvotes — e.g., clowning on an edit complaining about a downvote — rules are suspended for all comments that follow, and you can accrue lots of downvote salutes FOR FREE.
(Maybe not my comment since I’m late to the downvote party, but here you go;)
Edit: why the upvotes? :(
Edit edit: 1v1 me irl
gave you a downvote so it was not all for nothing
Norman Reedus sure likes his porn.
…Ive seen the fact that comments exist on these sites but genuinely who makes an account on pornhub?
I mean premium was free in 2020… you could download 4k VR content in the TBs. Oddest thing ive ever had stolen
How else do I share the best videos with my friends on Facebook?
True. Although, Meemaw was taken back by a few of them.
How else do I save my favourite videos?!
spoiler
Save the url in a text file you dingus
You save the file to disk like a proper pervert
Please ignore my 500GB homework folder.
They should have done more penetration testing.
It wouldn’t have taken much effort to find that gaping back door.
They rushed. If you push it too fast it’ll blow up in your face.
Amateurs.
My stepmother works in that industry and could have helped with that.
You don’t happen to have a clothes dryer at home, do you?
LMAO at anyone who made, or paid for, a PornHub account.
“Yes, I would like to log into PornHUB using my GMail account, please, for my convenience” - I just checked, they have SSO for Gmail and Twitter! AHAHAHAHAHAHA I’m dying
If PornHub has any of your data, congratulations, you are an idiot.
They have endless supplies of free content you don’t even have to login to watch, and they don’t block ad-blockers or VPNs afaik.
Oh, but the children are safe and priority and that’s why they want to verify them. Oh but the children. Think about the children!!! CHILDREN!!!
Children is all US Republicans seem to be able to think about…
I was expecting “we are fucked” after “here’s what we know so far”.
Pornhub has not worked with Mixpanel since 2021, which means that the stolen data would be from that year or earlier. Reuters, who contacted some Pornhub customers to confirm the breach, was able to authenticate that the user data that pertained to those customers was accurate – but was several years old which would be consistent with the Mixpanel data.
We checked our accounts and this is what we found…
Hello Sir… Good news is I’m not calling to talk about our Lord and Saviour. Bad news, can you verify your identity and daily access to the following pornhub fetishes?
how much of them are conservatives watching gay or trans porn.
According to ShinyHunters, the records contain extensive data on Premium members including email addresses, activity type, location, video URL, video name, keywords associated with the video and the time the event occurred. Activity types include whether the subscriber watched or downloaded a video, or viewed a channel and events include search histories.
haha
Eh. Good I never had premium then.
(Though I suspect my porn habits were exposed in much detail otherwise via something like personalized state surveillance.)
… I can DL the videos?
yeah if you give the money I think I don’t know. I haven’t tried

This sort of thing is one of those examples why “no log, no profile” service is probably a good idea. The service could have offered the option to charge a fee for access, but not retain customer activity data. They didn’t do that. At some point down the line, someone got ahold of the data, which I imagine that their customers are not really super keen on having floating around attached to their identities.
Probably a lot of companies out there that log and retain a lot of data about their customers.
Good idea for consumers. Too bad nobody cares about that. Unless it’s their core business.
This is exactly why we need GDPR
Too bad that’s being dismantled right now.
This is exactly why I’m cautious with websites that store people’s IDs.
No problem. Use someone else’s ID that gets leaked.
Modern problems require modern solutions
This why they are against store peoples ID. And this why those websites should never do it.
At some point on the Web (in my childhood, in the Russian-speaking parts - around 2002-2004) anything requiring registration was treated as some sort of closed club, and that was about just registration. Though people exposed their ICQ UINs and email addresses, so that you could chat with them (that’s the old way you’d DM a person whose post you liked).
I’m not sure about all these rules of what websites should and shouldn’t do. Perhaps websites should be always treated as some untrusted alien space that can possibly do anything. If you want to do something where such a leak is really bad, or anything worse than a pocket theft of 20$ - then perhaps such a system shouldn’t rely upon untrusted centralized service having everything.
I like the social model that existed then, though. It was somewhat global, now we have modern Web services (even if in Fediverse) that expose everything over the Web, posts, DMs and so on. Back then forums were websites, DMs were in ICQ\XMPP\Skype, email as its own thing, feeds as RSS.
I have heard people try to explain why they log in on porn sites: It saves your favorite videos, it recommends new videos and it makes it possible to see paid content.
All three things are reasons why I don’t want to log in. Yeah, like I want a list of my perversions attached to my name.
That’s way too much dedication to something that should take me like five minutes. People are crazy
200 million perverts.
