Plenty Of Fish hacked

Plentyoffish Hacked. « Plenty of fish blog

This was an incredibly well planned and sophisticated attack. Chris Russo a hacker from Argentina who hacked Piratebay and signed up to plentyoffish several days before I had to go to a conference. The attacks started as I was on an airplane to attend the internet dating conference in Miami. It took Chris Russo 2 days to break in; he didn’t even try to hide behind a proxy, signed up under his real name and executed the attacks while logged in as himself...

This shit is hillarious. And I am sure it's far from over. Reminds me of the post Shawn H. a guy that runs a pretty popular forum online (hint it has a green background) made about A very popular auction site, $1mil earnings, strippers and a whole bunch of other stuff.. All while he's being sued for unspecifed damages by that same company for 3yrs. Has pending fed charges,ect.

The more I'm reading about this, the more I'm believing Chris Russo's side.

This was an attack on the user's side of things, ad platform was unaffected.

marcus' story doesn't even make sense.
not that I trust an argentinean.

maybe pof will get some security done on the site. not upgrading usability is one thing, but security... I think you have enough money to increase it.

POF was a mashed together horrible website. I'm surprise it took this long to be get hacked.

Either way, if you had any type of POF account I'd delete it...There are probably way more security vulnerabilities. At the very least, change from the password you used.

i was wondering why the site was acting funny the other night, whole sections of the site kept on refusing to load and coming up as unavailable... wow

Sounds like some expert advice! Oh wait, the site in your sig doesn't even come up. In other words, fuck off.

Best of luck to the POF guys. If you need a security firm let me know I have solid recommendations.

i think i will just leave my password and see if the hackers can get me a hot chick....
