Porn site is the latest hacking victim, which has seen more than 70,000 subscriber names nicked.
The cheeky hackers of Digital Playground – one of the biggest porn sites in the world – also stole credit card details, passwords and email details, reports BBC.
Hacker group ‘The Consortium’ claims it is behind the latest security breach to hit the web and posted details of stolen data online yesterday. However, the hackers say it isn’t planning to release the 40,000 credit cards details it stole.
The hackers said the porn site’s security was a “joke” and the amount of holes in Digital Playground’s web security made it impossible to resist.

“This company has security, that if we didn’t know it was a real business, we would have thought to be a joke – a joke that we found much more amusing than they will,” The Consortium wrote on an online notice, according to Sophos blog Naked Security.
The credit cards are in plain text but the hackers said it will not be releasing the details, although it did make available 52 porno movie titles online, including ‘Babysitters 2’, “Like Sister Like Slut” and “Sex and Corruption. “
“We do this for the love of the game not for profit and these peoples only crime was wanting some porn.”
“We cannot justify releasing these peoples credit card info, but remember it is DP that allowed this to happen.”
Digital Playground is currently operational but are refusing to admit any new members at the moment.
This is the first big hack by The Consortium, who appear to be affiliated with notorious group Anonymous, according to reports.
