Huge embarrassment over fisting site data breach by John Leyden.
From the post:
A data breach at a forum for “anal fisting” has resulted in the exposure of 107,000 accounts.
Of course, ‘;–have i been pwned? plays the “I know something you don’t” game, loads the data but blocks searching.
I didn’t look hard for the data dump but for details sufficient to replicate this hack, see:
Another Day, Another Hack: Is Your Fisting Site Updating Its Forum Software? by Joseph Cox.
Quick search shows there are about 15K reports (including duplicates) on exposure of these 107,000 anal fisting aficionados.
It’s mildly amusing to think of the reactions of elected officials, military officers, etc., caught up in such data breach (sorry) but where is the full U.S. Senate Torture Report?
If you are going to risk jail time for hacking, shouldn’t it be for something more lasting than a list of anal fisters?
Is there a forum for nominating and voting on (anonymously) targets for hacking?
PS: Leaking data to ‘;–have i been pwned?, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists or Wikileaks, etc., only empowers new exercises of privilege. Leak to them if you like but leak to the public as well.
