In a scandalous turn of events, a hacker has reportedly offered the personal data of 340 million OnlyFans users for sale on a notorious cybercrime forum. As initially reported by Hackread, this treasure trove of information was listed for the price of around 0.313 BTC, or about $76,000 – a sum that reflects the potential value of such sensitive data.
The seller of this massive database claims it includes a wide array of user information, such as usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, account statistics, follower data, and links to social media accounts. This alarming collection is said to cover both content creators and subscribers, casting a wide net over the OnlyFans community.
"Despite the hacker's claims, they later denied breaching OnlyFans directly, suggesting the data was aggregated from older leaks and publicly available sources," Hackread reported.
Experts warn that even though this database appears to be a compilation of older leaks and accessible information, it still presents significant risks. The ability to connect usernames with personal details like email addresses and phone numbers could facilitate phishing attacks, harassment, or even identity theft. Such databases can easily become a playground for cybercriminals looking to exploit unwary users.
Adding a twist to the tale, reports from Qazinform News Agency previously highlighted a suspected hacker who allegedly managed to stay in luxury Spanish hotels for just one euro cent per night. This raises questions about the lengths to which cybercriminals will go to exploit vulnerabilities, whether in the digital realm or the physical world.
