Adult Websites and Hacker Attacks are Common – But with us, your sensitive personal information remains completely safe
Hacker attacks on other adult websites such as Ashly Madison, Stripshow, the AdultFriendFinder Network, PornHub, xHamster, Digital Playground and Brazzers to name but a few, show that hacking of personal details from adult content websites is rife. And there’s no sign of it stopping any time soon. There’s no doubt that adult sites where personal privacy is incredibly important, act as a very strong magnet to hackers. Cybercriminals are like any other type of criminal—they are good at finding loopholes in security systems and websites in order to make a quick killing.
Millions Have Suffered from Massive Personal Data Breaches
It is the susceptibility aspect that gives hackers the room to plant their malware, cause substantial misery and come up with very effective scams.
There cannot be any type of website more susceptible to scams than adult content sites. The hard truth is that these are the most visited and sought-after sites on the internet. As cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Labs found out; hackers have stolen the personal details of millions of users on adult content sites and sold that information on the dark web.

The YouPorn data breach, for instance, resulted in the personal details of more than a million registered users being accessible on a chat page, while Digital Playground was hacked with 40,000 plain-text credit-card numbers, names, CCV numbers, and expiry dates stolen, along with the personal information of over 70,000 users.
In spite of these events, it has long been thought that adult sites are among those to be most distrusted, along with online gambling and social networking, due to the likelihood of malicious content. Well, the truth is that genuine sites are likely to be as secure as the rest and best of the internet.
The problem is that ‘sex’ and ‘pornography’ are among the most searched-for terms, and cybercriminals are quick to pounce on that, creating websites that promise to host all sorts of sought-out activities. Target preoccupied surfers and you can install malware, grab their personal details and even their credit-card details depending on how keen they are to view the content on offer.
Recent research suggests that 63% of internet users searching for adult content on their computers compromised their security on numerous occasions. Of over 2,000 people (of which 78% were men), more than 72% admitted to having searched for and accessed adult content sites; of content downloaded, 91% was videos that can be downloaded from different sources including torrents, websites, and hubs.

Cybercriminals have also worked their way into legitimate websites and added indecent images to them; an example of this is when the Sesame Street YouTube channel was manipulated with illegal content.
Moreover, pornography sites are fooling UK web users; a poll of some 16,000 internet users, in 11 different countries, found that 37% thought that porn sites were more likely to contain malware then hobby or leisure sites for instance.
However, in reality, recreational websites are, in many cases, far easier to attack than professionally run adult content sites.

It is an assumption among many internet users that porn sites are more likely to be hacked than any other site. This is a myth. Amateur hobby and leisure sites are often not professionally run like many adult contact sites, making them much easier prey for hackers.
Historically, malware was written by developers who wanted to show off their technical skills, meaning it was visible to infected users. Now cybercriminals design, sell and make use of malware that enables them to take control of PCs’ computing powers in such a way that users do not notice the infection. Internet users should correct their misconceptions in order to stay safe online.
We spoke with a writer and author of erotic entertainment and sex practices about the adult industry and technology. We asked if she believed that adult websites were leading the way in security technology as they are invariably behind a pay-wall and it could be deemed that they have more to lose.
She told us: “It makes sense that adult companies lead the way with technological security solutions – they were pioneers in selling content online, which meant they were the first to learn how to protect their product. There are many examples: Playboy was a pioneer in the simple but effective ‘digital watermark system’, which allows online content providers to prove copyright infringement in a court of law.

“The company Takedown Piracy claims to have removed more than three million copyright infringements on behalf of the adult industry. The fact is that adult companies continue to be some of the only ones making money selling content online, which means that, by necessity, they must also be leaders in technological solutions to protect their content.”
We asked her if she thought that people were compromised because hackers knew where they were going, rather than this being an overall problem.
She said: “People can, of course, be hacked anywhere, but there’s no doubt that the adult industry is marginalised from the mainstream, and that it naturally attracts more than its share of dirty dealers.
“It makes instinctive logic that, if you are going to try to attack someone’s computer – whether it’s for identity theft, sheer unpleasantness or some other motivation – you would target people when they are searching for or consuming adult content, if for no other reason than victims would be less likely to seek redress for fear of having to reveal publicly what they were doing on their computer when they were compromised.”
We don’t doubt that the leading adult websites are as secure as the major shopping sites, or any other sites that require subscriptions, but as incidents have illustrated, nothing is safe.

As research has shown, the number of web app vulnerabilities is rising, and with adult websites relying on video content, it may not be that complicated to install an exploit.
