SUMMARY

PornHub is facing extortion from the ShinyHunters group after a data breach at analytics vendor Mixpanel exposed Premium members' search and watch activity.

PornHub confirmed that the stolen data included "201,211,943 records of historical search, watch, and download activity."

However, the company stated that this information did not compromise its systems or sensitive user data.
