Porn site hack exposes subscriber data Data on over 73,000 subscribers exposed.
A hacker group called The Consortium has claimed responsibility for the hack, which includes details on over 73,000 subscribers. The data includes user names, e-mail addresses and passwords. The group also said it took data of 40,000 credit cards.

The site has been taken offline while an investigation is being carried out by Manwin, a Luxembourg-based firm that maintains the Digital Playground website.

"This company has security, that if we didn't know it was a real business, we would have thought to be a joke - a joke that we found much more amusing than they will," wrote The Consortium in a log posted on the web.

Subscribers to the site were contacted and notified of the data breach.
