only select Premium users. It is important to note this was not a breach of Pornhub Premium's systems. Passwords, payment details, and financial information remain secure and were not exposed. What Happened.
We recently learned that an unauthorized party gained unauthorized access to analytics data stored with Mixpanel, a third-party data analytics service provider. The unauthorized party was able to use this unauthorized access to
extract a limited set of analytics events for some users. This was not a breach of Pornhub Premium's systems. No passwords, credentials, payment details or government IDs were compromised or exposed and we have since secured the affected account and
stopped the unauthorized access. Potential User Contact. We are aware that the individuals responsible for this incident have threatened to contact impacted Pornhub Premium users directly. You may therefore receive emails claiming
they have your personal information. As a reminder, we will never ask for your password or payment information by email. What We Are Doing. Upon becoming aware of this event, we immediately launched
a comprehensive internal investigation with the support of our cybersecurity experts. We have engaged with relevant authorities and with Mixpanel so that we can provide you with facts. We are working diligently to determine the nature and scope of the
reported incident. What You Can Do. While our investigation is ongoing, we encourage all users to remain vigilant by monitoring their accounts for any suspicious emails or unusual activity.
