Lulz Security breaches data security of porn website

Lulz Security has been targeting a wealth of established companies and organisations to show file security vulnerabilities.

One of the latest attacks by the infamous group is an attack on adult content portal Pron.com, which saw 26,000 email addresses and passwords compromised.

Included in these accounts were six cases where people had signed up to the page using either government or military addresses.

Commenting on this particular issue, Lulz Security acknowledged that "they are too busy fapping to defend their country".

To add further insult, Lulz Security attempted to get people who follow the group over Twitter to use the emails and passwords to log into Facebook and post on accounts.

However, Facebook countered this particular effort by matching up email accounts onto its database and subsequently resetting any affected passwords.

In the last few weeks, Lulz Security has claimed to have carried out breaches on such well-recognised businesses as Sony Pictures and NHS, though the latter was done more to help the organisation than to harm it.
