Eroticy

Eroticy is an adult website that enabled users to explore and arrange discreet encounters. In June 2015, the site was compromised in a data breach that impacted nearly 1.4 million user records. The breach exposed a wide range of sensitive information, including names, usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, IP addresses, passwords (in some cases in plaintext), payment details, and records of user activity. Detailed analyses by security researchers (including Troy Hunt) suggest that the hack may have exploited vulnerabilities within the site’s affiliate and payment processing infrastructure—systems reportedly tied to a payment processor known as “Epoch.” Despite thorough investigation, no specific hacker or group has publicly claimed responsibility for the attack, leaving the exact method and perpetrator ambiguous.
