Your porn habits are being leaked online if you've ever looked at this popular adult site

Your porn viewing habits might not be as private as you'd hope, with a major adult website having been hit by hackers.
Porn sight The Candid Board has confirmed a major security breach, with the personal details of 180,000 users having been stolen and uploaded to the web.
With the site specialising in 'upskirt' pictures of women, the hack could publicly reveal the private perversions our thousands of users.

Making it easy to identify users, the personal details stolen includes usernames, dates of birth, IP addresses and users' last login time.
Although user's passwords have been compromised, only hash-out versions of their access codes were obtained by the hackers.
Worryingly for visitors of the site, user's browsing histories have also been unlawfully accessed and shared.
Although obtained in September 2015, the stolen information has only just been published by HavelBeenPwned, a breach notification website. Only verified users can currently see the list of users.

As well as being embarrassing, the hack could potentially have further consequences for those targeted, with many of the women featured on the site unaware that their pictures were being taken.
"It's amazing how much personal data people will entrust sites of this nature with," Troy Hunt, HavelBeenPwned's site manager told IBTimes.
"Members provided accurate email addresses and birth dates which combined with their IP address now very clearly ties them back to a site of very questionable legal status."

Unashamed by its offerings, The Candid Board's FAQs states: "We do not want to limit people by a narrow definition of what is and what is not "candid".
"Basically anything un-posted and non-professional is allowed as long as no board rules are broken."
The 180,000 compromised accounts are all subscribers to the £19.99 (£15.89) service and included 19 government email address and 68 military accounts.

Far from the first time a major porn site has been hacked, the Candid Board compromise follows attacks to major porn sites xHamster and Brazzers as well as infidelity site Ashley Madison.
Hit by hackers last year, 380,000 .
xHamster is the 67th most popular website in the world, with hacked users losing their usernames, passwords and email addresses.
