An investigation by Britain's Channel 4 News revealed Thursday that 3.9 million of Adult Friend Finder's 64 million users (more than both Match.com and eHarmony) had their information stolen and leaked to a hacker forum. It looks like hackers launched a phishing campaign, which includes sending malware infected emails in bulk, and convinced users to enter their log-in information. From there, thieves can use that information to steal a target's identity, or in this case threaten to reveal they're listed as “seeking an extramarital affairs” unless they pay up.
Initial reports say deleted accounts have also been affected.
The site describes itself as a “thriving sexual community” that emphasizes the physical, erotic aspect of romance, rather than helping people find a lasting connection. The site has been criticized for listing far more men than women and for enabling prostitution.
Parent company Friend Finder Networks Inc said in a statement it “understands and fully appreciates the seriousness of the issue. We have already begun working closely with law enforcement and have launched a comprehensive investigation with the help of a leading third-party forensics expert,” as quoted by Business Insider.
