Thousands of xHamster login credentials surface online
Original source of the news about the leak it looks like, http://motherboard.vice.com/read/hackers-are-trading-hundred...
“The passwords of all xHamster users are properly encrypted, so it is almost impossible to hack them. Thus, all the passwords are safe and the users data secured."
The passwords are hashed using unsalted MD5.
how I use porn sites:
1. register an email account to some unknown email provider with unintelligible username and email names and don't use it for anything after registration.
2. register to a new google account with another unintelligible username and email names referring to backup email registered in 1 and don't use it in any personal or professional needs.
3. go to porn sites.
4. after some time register a new google account referring to email registered in 2 and never use the old 2 emails in 1 and 2 again.
5. repeat 4 every 6-8 months.
i can hardly imagine in what situation i would register an account on such sites using a cooperate email address... I mean, not only that i would expect those to be property of my employer (including mails sent and received that is) and thus potentially monitored for whatever reasons but i would also fear to get their brand into a situation like this.
I wonder if these people never considered to have a separate private mail address and what might be the reason for that.
I don't know why anybody would register for a porn site just to comment. And, even if you do want to register, you can use any temporary email provider to keep your real emails safe.
The best one out there is http://mytemp.email , I use it almost every day, sometimes for newsletters and sometimes to check product trials.
Seriously guys, people really register on porn sites?
