And there do seem to be some common patterns in the recent news around this subject, manwin.. anonymous...
I've seen site owners that have ignored breaches completely. Only time they care is if it's made public. Also, it's quite laughable how these fame seeking kids claim "5th largest porn site with 72k users". From what i read in the release, that seems like a database with members from several years back, and if it held only 72k users, it's pretty fucking small. That would amount to few k active subscribers.
