Consumers of Internet pornography who secretly signed up for memberships on adult-oriented Web sites in the past few months may be in for a shock -- some of their personal information, including e-mail addresses, may have been compromised by a security breach.
Though the breach, which potentially could affect tens of thousands of customers, reportedly did not involve the theft of credit card information, it could nonetheless have a significant impact on the lucrative Internet pornography industry, according to those who monitor the market. These observers note that online porn relies, as much as anything else, on the promise that its customers can enjoy complete anonymity as they indulge their favorite niche pastimes from the privacy of their own computers.
"It's a huge concern," said Jason Tucker, whose Falcon Foto company boasts one of the world's largest erotic libraries. "The relationship we have with our customers is based on trust. The industry's concern is if that trust has been violated, we could see a drop-off in customers."
A New Jersey company called Too Much Media, which supplies the software tracking system used by hundreds of adult sites, has reported that a list of its clients' user names and passwords was stolen. The company said no credit card information has been stolen.

did you feel that?
That was the middle aged men of America doing a collective shudder.
;)
Another reminder that porn in the woods was far superior.
Sign up? Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free.
Why is it that my first thought was Hillary?
So BILL CLINTON’S account has been stolen?
::laughs::
Who in their right mind would sign up for porn sites????
...when there are so many that don’t require it.
...so I’ve been told.
.... damnit, well my credit cards need to get “lost” and reissued again.

All your porns are us.
I’m sure there will be some libertarian types on this board insenced about this invasion of privacy, but my first reaction was: LOL.
I would think that all of the random pop-ups (no pun intended), cookies, viruses, etc. would be enough of a deterrent to online porn for men with spouses/familes.
sounds like some govt BS to me, they have been wanting to shut down porn sites but haven’t got the legal ability to do so, so, hit them with business loss and let them erode
fine by me, but BS is BS
Hillary was my second thought.
There is a candidate in the race that is affiliated with a company that offers net tracking technologies.
Sentinel Software, Inc.
SolutionsAmerica, (Nevis), Inc.
E-Commerce Transaction Services, Ltd.
OneStop.com, Inc.
And it looks like one of those ‘may’ be affiliated with Too Much Media.
People got personal information stolen from internet pornography sites?...How can that be? (extreme sarc.)
A likely excuse...you probably belong to dozens of sites! LOL
Adult sites could include alternative lifestyles too.
