Hacked AdultFriendFinder: Leak 400 million accounts

AdultFriendFinder and Cams.com are said to be , as hundreds of millions of their user accounts have been leaked on .

According to LeakedSource, the Friend Finder network was hacked with an RFI exploit (remote file inclusion). This allowed the attackers to access the databases of all the pages owned by the company, namely: AdultFriendFinder, Cams.com, Penthouse, Stripshow, iCams.com and another "unknown domain."

The RFI exploit was detected a few weeks ago by the administrators of AdultFriendFinder, and is believed to be the same responsible for leaking customer information on the page.

Overall, over 400 million user accounts, 339 million from AdultFriendFinder, 62 million from Cams.com leaked. All other accounts come from other Friend Finder network pages.

We should mention that the company Friend Finder had not taken care to encrypt them properly . Many were stored in plain text, without any protection, while others were hashed using the weak SHA1 algorithm, which is very easy to crack.

So if you had an AdultFriendFinder account, or any other webpage on the network, do not use the same code in other services. Of course you will need to change your code instantly, wherever you use it.

To make it worse, let's say that LeakedSource claims the Friend Finder Network retained the data of users who had deleted their accounts.

If that's true, her leak Ashley Madison website seems to be a blame compared to the new hack. Leakage of user data may have disastrous consequences for users of the site.

Let's recall that after Ashley Madison's hack many of the users of the page were blackmailed by hackers or by those who took the data.
