Don’t worry though, because there’s no way your ID verification for adult sites will ever get leaked

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 105 points 6 days ago (8 children)

Millions of fake IDs have been leaked.

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.

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.

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.

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

how much of them are conservatives watching gay or trans porn.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

would be fun to crosslink that list with https://wiki.icelist.is/

Exactly the first thought I had.

*Gameshow Music*

YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS, IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE WORLD'S LONGEST RUNNING GAME SHOW....

WHICH QUEERPHOBIC PUBLIC FIGURE IS WATCHING QUEER PORN!

Let's Greet our Contestants, shall we?

He's so homophobic someone renamed a mix of Cum and Lube after him, it's Rick Santorum!

He's so transphobic JK Rowling told him to tone it down, It's Graham Linnerhan!

Despite wearing platform shoes, he wants to make all forms of Queerness a crime, it's Ron DeSantis!

And finally, she's called for Transgender Women to be executed en mass, for famous transwomen to be raped, and she's featured in some of the Queer porn in question, it's Lily Cade!

Why do you need to log into pornhub? I, um, a friend of mine, uses it fine without logging in...

[–] Lanusensei87@lemmy.world 61 points 6 days ago (3 children)

There was a time when they were pushing the step sibling fetish real hard, like, all the videos in the front page were that, and then they put a banner saying "tired of seeing step____? Why not make an account and filter it out?"

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 48 points 6 days ago (5 children)

Dunno about y'all but I can wank through the made up plot points without much trouble

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 33 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

If I could wank it to scrambled porn 30 years ago then any subtext or dialogue is like a fart in the wind once I get going.

You can follow uploaders, but since the mass removal of 85% of their videos I doubt the website has ever gotten better. I had a few favourites noted down but none of them exist now.

This is going to be fun. Let’s do some Data Analysis with this. Find the republican with the highest amount of watch time of gay porn.

It'll be fun finding all those "antiporn", "antidei", "antilgbtq+" fine people watching exactly that. Bonus points for .va domains.

[–] Bgugi@lemmy.world 35 points 6 days ago

.va = Vatican city officials, for those too lazy to Google.

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

[–] chuso@fedia.io 54 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Sorry, but I don't think we're emphasising enough that Pornhub shared details of its users, such as their search history and watched videos, with an external company and that external company kept that data for over four years after their relationship ended.

This why they are against store peoples ID. And this why those websites should never do it.

The most embarrassing part about this would be people finding out you actually pay for porn

Release the pornhub files!

[–] bookmeat@lemmynsfw.com 25 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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...

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.
