Account Data Breach: StripChat
Millions of records exposed from an adult cam site
In November 2021, the live sex cams and adult chat website StripChat left several databases exposed and unsecured. In June the following year, over 65 million StripChat records appeared on a popular hacking forum. The exposed data included usernames, email addresses and IP addresses, biographical data, transaction data, and chat messages.
Of the accounts listed, approximately four UMBC accounts were indicated in this potential breach. The victims have been notified via their UMBC email. If you have an account with Stripchat, please contact them to see if you have been affected by this breach.
