Executive Summary
In 2015, the video-bookmarking site MyVidster suffered a data breach exposing nearly 20,000 accounts including usernames, email addresses, and hashed passwords. (This is distinct from a much larger 2025 MyVidster breach of ~3.86 million records.)
ObscureIQ assessment: Exposure enables account takeover, harassment, and profiling based on saved-content behavior. Depending on content type, bookmarked history may also create reputational or adult-content-related sensitivity.
Breach Impact
Small, older breach; association with an adult-content site adds mild sensitivity, and hashed passwords carry reuse risk.
