However, the private and delicate information that users input as they sign up for an account (email address, username, password, name, etc.) was stolen and leaked from a group of hackers. Data dumping, a popular term used in the hacker community that references sharing information stolen from major websites and organizations, was the way the hackers spread awareness of this particular hack. Some users reported that at the time of the attack, MyVidster.net was taken offline to address the data breach that was taking place and to find the extent of the damage.
