If you are keeping up with the news you have probably already heard about the breach of the adult site known as Ashley Madison. Here is a link to one of the articles about it: http://money.cnn.com/2015/07/20/technology/ashley-madison-hack/index.html . Like the breach at Adult Friend Finder (http://money.cnn.com/2015/05/22/technology/adult-friendfinder-hacked/ ) a few months ago, this type of incident is a little different than the usual breach. This breach is less about identity information (although at the root has a lot to do with it), financial information, or even health information. The focus of this type of site/service is on secrecy and discreetness. It is about sharing sensitive information about an individual’s private life.

When a breach occurs that shares our personal information we immediately think about identity theft and credit card fraud. More recently we are seeing more health information compromised as well, but the Adult FriendFinder breach changes that focus. The hack still revolves around personal information, but with the exception of the username/password, it does not include social security numbers or credit card numbers. Rather, this breach is focused on a persons sexual preferences or desires.
