Adult dating site hack exposes sexual secrets of millions

a reply to: Shamrock6
I don't often look for "funny cat pictures" but I do believe the people who do it have a right to privacy about it if they so desire.



I hope the NSA had to build complex software filters and wastes much time digging through and dumping the cat picture traffic. Maybe I should get into those picture in order to increase their load.

You can be sure the FBI has a sting operation in place to catch these hackers...they will soon find out how truly foolish they really are. Their next home will be a prison cell.

Really?

I guess the silly hackers wouldn't think of things like that.. ?

You actually said "midgets in miniature lederhosen" but I cleaned it up for you.

They're the most committed of pervy midgets. Do you know how hard it is to find miniature lederhosen?

Does Sabu and the activities around him ring a bell...

Seems to me that what makes more sense here is a psy-op meant to shame a segment of the population. A fear mongering tactic attempting to get us all back to "God" and to put sex back into the dark, married, missionary role that it supposedly belongs in.

Either that or a thirteen year old idiot savant is about to do a lot of time in prison.

Think the sex-thing is out of the bag and well back to where it was originally under the pagans anyway - celebration not celibacy.

I suspect its only the sad sacks who would read that cr.p anyway, most people are too busy with other things. The day of resigning or being embarrassed because of some bedroom secret, that flew out the window are well gone. Look at Clinton as a prime example and many more., who cares people still love each other?

Narcissistic people often think they are beyond the boundaries of the law.

Just for the record, I am not Midgetpornlover01.


For reals, it's not me.

A truly worrying side to this incident is revealed:

rt.com...

One of the account holders is registered with a Navy.mil email address, and the hacked account records reveal that the person logged-on to the dating site from an IP address connected to the Navy Network Information Center in Virginia Beach, VA. A cursory Google search of that person’s name suggests they were a civilian employee of the US Navy who was married as of 2002.

People registering and accessing this site from their work email. This becomes a major issue when said employees work for national security/lea. Embarrassing enough when your neighbours find out what rocks your boat. What about when individuals open themselves up to blackmail and work within sensitive institutions/government departments.

Surely that then becomes a national security issue.

These hackers should be in prison.
It's nobody's business. And boasting about blackmailing? Complete A holes.

Hmmm. Yep, NSA should be locked up too.
Jerks.

So this guy gives out his hacking ID, openly posts on a forum that he wants to bribe the website aaaaaaaaaand wants to get away with it?
I am not sure if i should say the story is fake, or that he personally lied or that this hacker has the IQ of tuna salad.

Dark web? Exactly how are people going to find the guy?

Somehow I get the impression people think a lot of what goes on in there is the same as what goes on in /b/

interesting to know so many people are unaware of how many mirrors there are out there.

Not much of a surprise there. Why do actual work if the person can surf porn, etc and still get paid.

Lets face it one quick glance at our search history is sometimes enough to expose ones sexual proclivity's. I would be more worried regarding my bank details/home address being hacked.

True. I could be exposed just by my Google search history.
But then I don't care, I don't have anything to hide.

Famous last words in a world where your liberties are being slowly eroded. What you do today, may incriminate you tomorrow. sure, unlikely, but still.. it is that very thought process that allows it to happen.

"I have nothing to hide, therefore I do not care how much information on me they obtain."

I was actually surprised to see my google search history the other day in some new google options. Considering I had turned it off years ago. hrrmm..

You can be sure that a job offer is just as likely as any jail cell when it comes to hackers.

Not from this. This is not anything major. It's a burden and an annoyance. If someone stole my bike by hacking the combination lock, I would not employ them to secure my bike store.

Now if they stole 50 trillion in diamonds using an iphone. Well, then I'd be a little more impressed.

The point of this lies in that it's leaked naughty info from .. well I'd say, sad people. adultfinder.. I mean come on.. as opposed to "sweet-pooches-on-the-lawn.com"? If it can be done, it is wroth a go. This was all that was. Some guy/gal hacked the security, nicked the data, posted it on the darkweb, and the rest of the hooligans jumped on it.

It's not taking ebay down. or a dedicated effort to disrupt services. More of a "Hahah look u gais, lel this guy likes rabbits used on him by a dominatrix!! roflcopter"

nah, if caught, mad sentence. not a job. and certainly no take down of any major hacking group.

I always assume someones watching me whenever I do anything on the internet (a symptom of my conspiracy theory instinct, I suppose), so I really couldn't be burnt that way, not that I particularly have anything to hide.

In 1995 I used to wonder if the internet was just a big scam that this little company had set up to have a laff.

I knew it wasn't, but this is Australia in 1995, we didn't even have a dns server from the isp, we had to find yahoo or metacrawler by IP address. Seriously.

So as I looked up Sandra Bullock pokies, I stoped, paused and thought.. "What if they're just cracking up watching me look for things, and they feed me random stuff..."

haha.. then I found ATS... err, in 2014..

The sexual secrets of millions at risk because they all went on the interwebs and spilt their sour milk on some dodgy site.

LOL

I dunno, but I find that really, really ironical.

I think the lyrics of this Vid are appropriate:

The site in question is frequented by cheaters and closet-cases. I am surprised this is the first I heard about someone hacking it and trying to blackmail people.

I think this is likely not the first time that the security was breached, just the first time someone went public with information.

Also if this hacker is using the dark net to post the information, it is unlikely he will be found. The NSA and FBI like the give the impression they are good enough to find hackers and cyber-pirates but the reality is the busts they have made have come back to old fashion police work, a little luck, and bad OPSEC from hacker.

Agree to disagree I guess. I personally know a guy who got a pretty sweet job offer and now runs a cyber-security group from/for the fed who did something about as "not major" as this.

And yes, I knew him at the point in his life when he got the knock on his door.

The problem is people have secrets they need not have.
Why not just be honest? Why hide and live in fear?

If you don't want to be exposed, then be open about
who you are, what you like, and forget the judgements
of other people.

Jesus said,

Right up till there I was with you.

Imaginary wizards... why.. keep that to yourself.

I remember seeing a doco about ancient times where people who would be charged to make mosaics for rich folk, would hide secret messages in their art, referring to jesus.

wish we could go back to then, when it was not so in your face. jesus...

Thing is, this is not a high profile hack. It's not "catch me if you can" so there will only be a punitive outcome, IF they catch the person.

There are so many exploits out there, it's not the technique, its the slack security that is the issue.

very different things.
