I guess since Uber, Expedia, Yelp, or Docusign users can't be so easily extorted that didn't make the news.

"Mixpanel, which offers its clients detailed visibility into user data and activities, disclosed, opens new tab a cybersecurity incident on November 27.
The company said in a statement provided to Reuters on Tuesday that it was aware of Pornhub’s statement, but that it “can find no indication that this data was stolen from our November 2025 security incident or otherwise.”
Pornhub’s data with Mixpanel was last accessed by “a legitimate employee account at Pornhub’s parent company in 2023,” according to the statement. “If this data is in the hands of an unauthorized party, we do not believe that is the result of a security incident at Mixpanel.”
ShinyHunters told Reuters the data was connected to the recent Mixpanel incident. Mixpanel denied ShinyHunters' claim, saying the company had done a thorough investigation into the November incident with external cybersecurity experts and notified all affected clients."
