Adult-FanFiction.Org Data Breach

What happened

In May 2018, the website for sharing adult-orientated works of fiction known as Adult-FanFiction.Org had 186k records exposed in a data breach. The data contained names, email addresses, dates of birth and passwords stored as both MD5 hashes and plain text. AFF did not respond when contacted about the breach and the site was previously reported as compromised on the Vigilante.pw breached database directory.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

• Change your Adult-FanFiction.Org password immediately, and update it anywhere you reused the same password.
• Enable two-factor authentication on the affected account and on your critical services (email, banking).
• Watch for targeted phishing emails referencing Adult-FanFiction.Org — attackers weaponise breach data quickly.
• Exposed identity data raises identity-theft risk — consider credit monitoring or a credit freeze.
• Check whether your email address appears in this breach on haveibeenpwned.com.
