Executive Summary
In January 2021, the adult escort-review forum ECCIE suffered a data breach later posted to a hacking forum, exposing about 536,000 user records including email and IP addresses, usernames, dates of birth, and salted MD5 password hashes. HIBP marks the breach as sensitive and it is not publicly searchable.
ObscureIQ assessment: Very high sensitivity. Exposure can enable extortion, stalking, reputational harm, harassment, and identity linkage for both clients and service providers.
Breach Impact
This is a sensitive breach: association with an escort-review forum makes exposure damaging (blackmail, doxxing, reputational harm) beyond the credential risk from crackable salted MD5.
