What is the Adult Friend Finder data dump?

The Adult Friend Finder data dump refers to a significant cyber security breach that occurred in October 2015, targeting the adult dating and entertainment company Friend Finder Networks, which operates several adult-oriented services including AdultFriendFinder.com. The breach resulted in the exposure of personal information belonging to approximately 4 million users, including sensitive details such as sexual preferences, email addresses, usernames, dates of birth, and, in some cases, whether they were looking to cheat on their spouses. The data was purportedly leaked on dark web forums and made available for others to download. This incident highlighted the vulnerabilities present in the protection of personal information on adult-oriented platforms and raised serious privacy concerns among internet users.
