Wife Lovers Data Breach (2018)

If you are a customer of Wife Lovers, here’s what’s now in circulation.

In October 2018, the site dedicated to posting naked photos and other erotica of wives Wife Lovers suffered a data breach. The underlying database supported a total of 8 different adult websites and contained over 1.2M unique email addresses. Wife Lovers acknowledged the breach which impacted names, usernames, email and IP addresses and passwords hashed using the weak DEScrypt algorithm. The breach has been marked as "sensitive" due to the nature of the site.
