We are aware of the data hack and we are waiting on FriendFinder to give us a detailed account of the scope of the breach and their remedial actions in regard to our data. Penthouse.com is a content site and does not collect data regarding our members sexual preferences. We take our members? data and site security seriously. We assumed full control of Penthouse.com in May of 2016 and immediately adopted a blanket policy requiring all of our members to change their passcodes. At the time our members weren?t thrilled with the inconvenience but we remain committed to ?best practices? in regard to keeping our members? data secure.?
which begs the question, if the acquiring party noticed this huge issue with how passwords were being stored, why did AFF not, and/or why did they not fix at least that part of the situation long before this all happened?

incompetence or apathy?
