Malwarebytes reports that a security incident exposed a limited set of Pornhub Premium users' analytics data—allegedly linked to a November 8, 2025 incident at third-party provider Mixpanel, though Mixpanel disputes this—and warns that cybercriminals may contact affected users to attempt sextortion or monetary extortion; the article details defensive measures (change passwords, enable MFA, preserve extortion emails, do not pay or respond) and recommends reporting suspicious contacts.
