Sloppy security measures at mega skin site YouPorn have exposed 6433 user emails and passwords. The email addresses in particular indicate you should never use your actual information to register to watch free porn. Naked Security explains how anonymous (note lower case “A”) hackers knocked this fat fastball of compromised data right into a public Pastebin file for all to see:
Unlike the recent Brazzers porn site hack, however, sloppy practices are being blamed for the YouPorn incident, with debug data about users seemingly being stored in a public fashion since 2007.
Because what people think about first and foremost when visiting a porn site is absolutely rock-solid security.
The breached data contains clearly identifiable email addresses that lead to individuals and institutions, such as two instances of someone using a Messiah College email–Messiah is an explicitly Christian institution that promotes “character and Christian faith” in students “in preparation for lives of service.” Another series of logins appear to track back to a former student athlete at Alvernia University, which educates students “in the Franciscan tradition.” Adults are free to visit legal porn sites, but the institutions in question might have an issue with their names being anywhere near the user database.
On a much more serious note, Naked Security points out that the hacked data can lead to what amounts to identity theft: “if your YouPorn password is now known, hackers might try that same password against your email address, your PayPal account, your Amazon account, and all many of other online resources.”

Exposed!
You like our extreme subtly, huh?
You were just baiting the trap for me, weren’t you?
heh heh he said baiting.
He is a mater at baiting
I”m told Obama’s free porn password is “taxwhitey”
More like “MoochelleOnVacation”.
I thought he used, “larrysinclair” after his gay lover.

GOLD STAR FOR YOU!! HAHAHAHAHA That is a good one.
Me thinks Lord O is a regular at the gay tab of YouPorn.
The fact that you know of a “gay tab of YouPorn” tells me you know it well.
I heard it was ‘screwemhard’
I would think “cracker.”
what’s yours?
Why would one register an email address if the site is FREE?
Usually if you sign up for a premium membership you get like, super HQ stuff that you can download, I believe.
Let’s see, you’re complaining about the lack of security on a porn site and then you go and tell people where the people looking at porn come from. I bet a few of those people that you refuse to name are green thumping huffington post people who claim that porn is a poor representation of women. Stop being a hypocrite and pretending that your huffpo name is so important.
Why don’t I believe Obama when he tells me government health records kept on computers are safe? Hackers can break into the FBI and CIA computers. Bank and porn site records are routinely hacked. Yet, somehow the healthcRe records are immune for hacker attacks? Hmmmm……….sounds like more Obama lies to me.
I like how you draw a conclusion from comparing an apple and a dog.

Good thing I logged in as BillC with the password FormerPresident
Even in an article where it’s not particularly relevant, you guys just can’t resist doing a little Christian-bashing. Classy.
i see plenty of ‘christians’ bash this, that and the other thing…so go f yourself.
There’s liberal discourse for you, folks– “go f yourself”
Who said he was liberal? Im a right winger so here’s some right wing discourse for you, GO F YOURSELF idiot.

So if Christian A hits your car and leaves the scene you feel it’s okay to punch Christian B in the face for it?
Reporting facts of a story are “bashing?”
I think Rugby’s point was, out of over 6,000 people, the only three “identified” were the ones associated with Christian institutions. Where there no business or government addresses used?

Look out Joe Biden… they got you good this time… can’t “blame Bush” here…
Give me a check if you look at porn but wish they would outlaw it. I’m a red blooded dude but time looking at porn is really time i would want back at the end of my life. Just like the time i watched MSNBC(news porn) i regret that too.
whoa
wonder if the girl from Messiah will be reprimanded.
She’ll be spanked because she’s a naughty, naughty girl.
i thought they only did that at Catholic schools
No, no. You only have to be DRESSED like a Catholic school girl.

Is nothing sacred.
Zip. Zero. Nada . . . go work for a private investigator as a photographer . . . I cannot imagine what that is like today . . . with the internet and twitter.
Holy cow . . . could you imagine?
got that right Joe, I worked that trade in the 80`s & 90`s, big fun if you got brass ones.
Or you look like a dumb kid hanging out in a commuter lot . . .
I’m lucky to have lived such an interesting life in such a great country.
I was rural, spent a lot of time in trees and such catching W/C types doing things their dr. said was impossible…… but I`m with you, it`s been a good ride, so far. Nice shot of the buildings, we just got a couple chunks of beam for display down here , one for a school – good that the kids are made aware.
Took this photo in the 90′s . . .
”

woops… I hope they don’t show WHICH porn I, erh, I mean they watched…
u guys just mad obama’s got 4 more years ahead of him?
Like any incumbent he’s got a 60/40 shot . . . even Carter got people to vote for him.

Why didn’t OBUMMER stop this before it happened?? He just doesn’t care about America. These loosers are being paid by SOROS and SEIU and Bar’aq al Hussain Obumgo and its not surprising that these loosers are on drugs. We got to get that coon MUSLIM COMMUNIST SOCIALIST Obummer out of office and get someone smarter like Sarah Palin so she can fix things like she fixed alaska (yes she is smarter, Harvard isnt really that good of school anyway and he only got in because he’s black, true story). I’m so sick and tired of this MUSLIM pResident not taking any action and ruining our reputation by cowtowing to these TERRORISTS in PAKISTAN. Maybe if we talk to our congressmen they will find a way to show his REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE from KENYA (the one he submitted is a FAKE, true story). We need to have this tea party movement grow so that we can go back to the principles of our founding fathers. Allow slavery and segregation in certain states so that we can keep the minorities in line so they don’t cause too much trouble because it worked in the past. TEA PARTY ’12!
Nice try – but people aren’t falling for your leftist baiting trick. Go back to watching reruns of The Rachel Maddox News Hour.

Just wait until they hack all of those “dating” websites . . .
Just when you thought it was safe to see if your next door neighbor was screwing the plumber . . .
What is the world coming to?
Was this article about youporn being hacked or is it just another anti-christian smear?
BTW, why would anyone “register” on youporn, you can watch the stuff for free without registration if you so wish.
What’s anti-Christian about sex? Oh, wait. Shhhhh. God never heard about sex.
Bobby, Bobby comeon. Sure Christians love sex and I’m sure God/ Jesus is aware of sex. I find it curious that the two people “outed” in the article are prominently identified as Christians. I guess Jews, Muslims, Buddists, Hindus, atheists and agnostics have never viewed porn???
Wtf? The funny part is, registering on the site is entirely optional. Who actually registers on it?
Who registers at a porn site? Must be a slow day at BetaBeat…(whatever that is).
…1/20/13…the end of an error…!

“Because what people think about first and foremost when visiting a porn site is absolutely rock-solid security.”
No; what I think about first and foremost is rock-hard dicks pounding muffs.
Interesting what Drudge website as top news for it’s conservative guests. Are they “not so christian closet people”
I’ve been to a porn site and got caught. Oh, my God! The horror, the shame, the embarrassment. My life is over! I’ll never recover from this !!
Seriously ??????????
you mean to tell us Joe Biden didn’t change his 12345678 baby got big butt plugs dot com logon password?
