"Pornhub has told Premium subscribers that some user data was exposed after a breach at Mixpanel, a third-party analytics provider it once used, rather than through any compromise of Pornhub's own systems. In a notice to users, the adult site said the incident affected "only select Premium users" and involved a limited set of analytics events inside Mixpanel's environment. Pornhub stressed that passwords, credentials, payment details, and government IDs were not exposed."
"SoundCloud has also confirmed it was breached after a week of user complaints about outages and broken access, which the company now says were linked to a cybersecurity incident. The streaming platform said it detected unauthorized activity in an ancillary service dashboard and brought in third-party security experts to investigate, eventually determining that the exposure affected roughly 20 percent of users. According to public data, SoundCloud has approximately 140 million users, suggesting that some 28 million people have likely been affected by the breach."
Three companies confirmed breaches that exposed user data but reportedly did not include passwords or payment information. Pornhub reported limited Premium-user analytics events were exposed through a former third-party vendor, Mixpanel, and said it stopped using Mixpanel in 2021. OpenAI traced an internal data leak to compromised Mixpanel analytics credentials. SoundCloud detected unauthorized activity in an ancillary service dashboard, engaged third-party security experts, and determined roughly 20 percent of users were affected, mainly through exposed email addresses and public profile information. Containment measures caused temporary service disruptions and connectivity issues for some users.
