vBulletin Flaw Exploited in Dutch Sex-Work Forum Breach

A hacker is selling the email addresses of 250,000 users of a Dutch sex-work forum Hookers.nl. The site provides a forum for escorts and customers to discuss sex work. The data includes email addresses, usernames, hashed passwords and IP addresses of forum users. Researchers say the data could be used for blackmail both for clients and for prostitutes actively using the forum. The incident is reminiscent of a 2015 breach of Ashley Madison, an adultery hook-up website that resulted in hackers making away with names, emails, home addresses, credit card data and sexual fantasy information.
