An adult content-sharing website exposed user data and left them vulnerable to a range of attacks, researchers say.
On Monday, vpnMentor's research team, led by cybersecurity professionals Noam Rotem and Ran Locar, said that Luscious was subject to a data breach that gave the team access to 1.195 million user accounts .
Luscious is used to share niche pornographic material, including computer-generated graphics and animations. The website is similar to a Tumblr setup, in which the main page includes a newsfeed with the latest content uploaded or updated by users.
According to the team, an authentication failure on the website allowed for unfettered access to all user accounts hosted by the Luscious database. Usernames, personal email addresses, locations, activity logs, genders, and some full names -- exposed through the private email addresses -- were available.
The team was also able to view user activity in great detail, including their video and image album uploads, likes, comments, userIDs, followers, and blog posts.
"Some of these blog posts were extremely personal -- including depressive or otherwise vulnerable content -- and kept anonymous," vpnMentor says. "Due to this data breach, however, the blog posts are no longer anonymous, with many of the authors' identities revealed."
It is estimated that up to 20 percent of the Luscious accounts use throwaway or fake email accounts, but this still leaves roughly 800,000 legitimate email addresses and private profiles exposed.
Based on their leaked email addresses, many users involved in the breach come from France, Germany, Russia, and Poland. Interestingly, a number of official government email addresses were also used to sign up, including those from Brazil, Australia, Italy, Malaysia, and Australia.
The data breach potentially had serious consequences by connecting legitimate email account holders to Luscious profiles and content which should have been kept anonymous. Should adult website activity be linked to yourself, a friend, family member, or employer, these links could be exploited by attackers coercively.
Bullying and harassment, blackmail payments based on the threat of exposure, and phishing could all occur due to data breaches of this nature.
vpnMentor discovered the Luscious data breach on August 15. The website's operators reacted promptly and the security hole was fixed on August 19. However, the team noted that it is not known how long the user accounts were vulnerable, and so cyberattackers may have extracted profile data before the data breach closure.
Earlier this month, researchers disclosed a security breach impacting 3Fun, an adult dating and encounters mobile application. A data leak exposed the specific locations of those seeking such encounters, as well as their dates of birth, sexual preferences, chat logs, and private pictures.

Pornhub's parent company has settled a lawsuit brought by 50 women who said they were victims of a sex-trafficking operation.
The women said that Girls Do Porn, an adult content provider, coerced them into having sex on camera and lied about how the material would be shared.
The 50 women had sued Pornhub, alleging the firm knew of the allegations but continued a partnership anyway.
Terms of the settlement were not made public.
In a statement, Pornhub parent company MindGeek said it had zero tolerance over the posting of illegal content on its platforms.
"The Parties reached a mutual resolution to resolve the dispute and the terms are confidential ," Brian Holm, the lawyer who represented the women said in an emailed statement.
Girls Do Porn was a part of MindGeek's partner programmes until October 2019, when the US Department of Justice effectively shut the porn producer down by arresting and charging its senior staff with sex trafficking and other offences.
It had uploaded numerous explicit videos to Pornhub and other public websites. Pornhub removed these videos after charges against Girls Do Porn were filed by US authorities.
Girls Do Porn allegedly operated by advertising modelling jobs. Young women who applied were later told the work in fact involved making pornographic videos.
They were allegedly told that the job would be anonymous and that their videos would not be posted on the web, but were being made for DVDs of private collectors or far-flung markets. However, the videos were later distributed publicly via sites including Pornhub according to US Attorneys.
In the complaint for damages against Mindgeek it was alleged that victims had sent the company "complaints detailing the fraud and coercion they were subject to by Girls Do Porn" but the company had not ended the partnership. The first court case on behalf of victims was lodged in June 2016.
"MindGeek has zero tolerance for the posting of illegal content on its platforms, and has instituted a comprehensive, industry-leading trust and safety policy to identify and eradicate any illegal material from its community," MindGeek said in a statement.
"We are committed to remaining at the forefront of internet safety, and taking every measure to prevent bad actors from posting illegal content online."
The company also suspended user-uploaded content in December 2020 following a separate set of allegations involving child abuse and rape-related videos.
The original lawsuit against MindGeek was filed in December last year , on behalf of 40 women plaintiffs. The number of plaintiffs later rose to 50.
Women cited in the lawsuit were referred to by the pseudonym Jane Doe and a number. They were each seeking more than $1m (£739,000) in damages and had demanded a jury trial.
Several of those involved with Girls Do Porn have since been convicted, including Ruben Andre Garcia, who worked as a recruiter, producer, and actor for Girls Do Porn, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison in November .
"This defendant lured one victim after another with fake modelling ads, false promises and deceptive front companies, ultimately devolving to threats to coerce these women into making sex videos," said Acting US Attorney Randy Grossman in a statement issued at the time of his conviction.
The FBI is currently seeking to arrest former co-owner of Girls Do Porn, Michael James Pratt, who allegedly coerced young women into filming sexually explicit content for the site.
Earlier this month, the bureau increased its maximum reward for information leading to Mr Pratt's arrest to $50,000 (£36,450).
The FBI has said it believes his alleged victims number in the hundreds.

Hundreds of explicit deepfake videos featuring female celebrities, actresses, and musicians are being uploaded to the world’s biggest pornography websites every month, new analysis shows. The nonconsensual videos rack up millions of views , and porn companies are still failing to remove them from their websites.
This story originally appeared on WIRED UK .
Up to 1,000 deepfake videos have been uploaded to porn sites every month as they became increasingly popular during 2020, figures from deepfake detection company Sensity show. The videos continue to break away from dedicated deepfake pornography communities and into the mainstream.
Deepfake videos hosted on three of the biggest porn websites, XVideos, Xnxx, and xHamster, have been viewed millions of times. The videos are surrounded by ads, helping to make money for the sites. XVideos and Xnxx, which are both owned by the same Czech holding company, are the number one and three biggest porn websites in the world and rank in the top 10 biggest sites across the entire web. They each have, or exceed, as many visitors as Wikipedia, Amazon, and Reddit.
One 30-second video, which appears on all three of the above sites and uses actress Emma Watson’s face, has been viewed more than 23 million times—being watched 13 million times on Xnxx. Other deepfake videos, which have hundreds of thousands or millions of views, include celebrities such as Natalie Portman, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, and Indian actress Anushka Shetty. Many of the celebrities have continuously been the targets of deepfakes since they first emerged in 2018.
“The attitude of these websites is that they don't really consider this a problem,” says Giorgio Patrini, CEO and chief scientist at Sensity, which was until recently called DeepTrace. Deepfake pornography videos are widely considered to target, harm, and humiliate the women that are placed at their center. Patrini adds that Sensity has increasingly seen deepfakes being made for other people in the public realm, such as Instagram, Twitch and YouTube influencers, and he worries the advancement of deepfake tech will inevitably see members of the public targeted.
“Until there is a strong reason for [porn websites] to try to take them down and to filter them, I strongly believe nothing is going to happen,” Patrini says. “People will still be free to upload this type of material without any consequences to these websites that are viewed by hundreds of millions of people”.
Many of the videos are hiding in plain sight—they’re uploaded to be watched, after all. Some videos include “fake” or “deepfake” in their titles and are tagged as being a deepfake. For instance, tag pages on XVideos and Xnxx list hundreds of the videos.
However, the full scale of the problem on porn websites is unknown. There will probably never be a true picture of how many of these videos are created without people’s permission.
Despite repeated attempts to contact representatives of XVideos and Xnxx, the owners did not answer requests for comment on their attitudes and policies towards deepfakes.
Alex Hawkins, VP of xHamster, says the company doesn’t have a specific policy for deepfakes but treats them “like any other nonconsensual content.” Hawkins says that the company’s moderation process involves multiple different steps, and it will remove videos if people’s images are used without permission.
“We absolutely understand the concern around deepfakes, so we make it easy for it to be removed,” Hawkins says. “Content uploaded without necessary permission being obtained is in violation of our Terms of Use and will be removed once identified.” Hawkins adds that the dozens of videos appearing as deepfakes on xHamster, which were highlighted by WIRED, have been passed onto its moderation team to be reviewed.
Deepfake upload figures seen by WIRED did not include Pornhub, which is the second-biggest porn website and despite banning deepfakes in 2018 still has problems with the videos .
“There has to be some kind of thinking about what we do about this when women are embarrassed and humiliated and demeaned in this way on the internet, and it really is like a question about privacy and security,” says Nina Schick, a political broadcaster and the author of Deepfakes and the Infocalypse .
Since the first deepfakes emerged from Reddit in early 2018, the underlying artificial intelligence technology needed to make them has advanced. It’s getting cheaper and easier for people to make deepfake videos. In one recent example , a security researcher using open-source software and spending less than $100 was able to create video and audio of Tom Hanks.
The tech advancements have raised fears that deepfakes will be used to manipulate political conversations. While there were some early examples of this happening, the threat has largely failed to materialize. However, deepfake porn, where the technology was first invented, has flourished. Hollywood actress Kristen Bell said she was “shocked” when she first found out deepfakes were made using her image. “‘Even if it’s labelled as, ‘Oh, this is not actually her,’ it’s hard to think about that. I’m being exploited,” she told Vox in June.
The amount of deepfakes online is growing exponentially. A report from Sensity released last year found 14,678 deepfake videos online in July 2019—96 percent of these were porn and almost all are focused on women. By June this year the amount of deepfakes had climbed to 49,081.
The majority of deepfake porn is found on, and created by, specific communities. The top four deepfake porn websites received more than 134 million views last year, Sensity’s 2019 analysis shows. One deepfake porn website is full of videos featuring celebrities and contains videos of Indian actresses that have been watched millions of times. Some videos state they were requested, while their creators say they can be paid in bitcoin.
“Some of this technology is improving so fast, because there's so much energy and drive, unfortunately, from the creators’ side,” Patrini says. “I think we're going to be seeing it applied very soon with much larger intent to private individuals.” He believes when the technology is easy for anyone to use there will be a “tipping point” when lawmakers will become aware of the problems.
Clare McGlynn, a professor at the Durham Law School who specializes in pornography regulations and sexual abuse images, agrees. “What this shows is the looming problem that is going to come for non-celebrities,” she says. “This is a serious issue for celebrities and others in the public eye. But my longstanding concern, speaking to survivors who are not celebrities, is the risk of what is coming down the line.”
At the moment, the legal options for people featured in deepfake videos has not kept up with the technology. In fact, it wasn’t ever prepared for the impact of AI-generated porn. “If a pornographic picture or video of you goes up online, your legal options for taking it down vary wildly,” says Aislinn O'Connell, a law lecturer from Royal Holloway University in London.
People can pursue nonconsensual uploads for defamation, under human rights laws, copyright complaints, and other forms. However, most of these processes are onerous, resource-intensive and most often don’t apply to deepfakes. “We need more and better solutions now,” O'Connell says.
Some deepfake laws have been passed in US states, but these largely focus on politics and ignore the impact that deepfakes are already having on people’s lives. In the UK the Law Commission is conducting a review into the sharing of intimate images online, which includes deepfakes, but it is expected to take years until any changes can be made. O'Connell proposes that England adopts image rights laws so people can properly protect themselves.
However, while lawmakers fail to deal with the problem, the technology is set to become cheaper and easier for all to use. “I see the evolution of deepfakes in the pornographic space as actually the harbinger of the bigger civil liberties issues that are going to emerge,” Schick says.
