Pornhub user data stolen in hacking incident

The notorious ShinyHunters hacking group has stolen sensitive viewing history data from over 200 million Pornhub Premium user records through a breach at analytics provider Mixpanel. The stolen data includes email addresses, video titles, search keywords, timestamps and location information dating back to 2021. The hackers are now extorting Pornhub with the threat of releasing users' intimate browsing histories unless ransom demands are met. No passwords or financial details were compromised.
