Anti-Hobby Hacker Hacks Hookers
I always did screen and will be screening ONLY with real name and whole story life behind the name so I can see my partner for fun

This story is an example of cyber security threats to our hobby/profession. We tend to focus on physical, health, and legal risks (with good reason), but cyber security threats also warrant serious consideration, given the extent to which our hobby/profession (at least in the U.S.) depends on the Internet.
In this case, the Moroccan Muslim anti-hobby and anti-porn hacktivist "ElSurveillance" claimed to have breached the databases of 79 provider websites. Based on just a quick look at the domain names, they seem to be primarily for agencies. The databases that he claimed to have breached purportedly included email addresses, usernames, passwords, and IP addresses. He has not publicly shared the data that he claimed to have obtained from these breaches, and hacktivists often make dubious or bogus claims about their purported successes for propaganda purposes. There are, however, archives of his defacements of some of these websites, which lend more credibility to his claims but do not prove that he compromised their databases.
Regardless of the veracity of this particular hacker's claims, the story does illustrate a valid risk that hackers could breach a hobby website and try to use the compromised data for malicious purposes. Anti-hobby vigilantes could try to use it to expose or intimidate providers and clients. Criminals could try to use it for blackmail (as with the Ashley Madison breach) or by stealing compromised accounts for their own use (e.g. using someone else's whitelisted account to book an appointment).
