The database, which mostly included users from Europe, was locked down last week. It’s not clear if any intruders accessed the database. An email to VTS Media bounced, so the company’s stance on the issue isn’t clear.

As with the database exposure at 3Fun’s dating service, the camgirl site exposure isn’t just a potential security risk. The viewing habits could be used to blackmail people worried their more socially conservative peers might learn about their sexual preferences. If there’s an upshot, it’s that the disclosure has revealed potential privacy issues. Would users be comfortable knowing that VTS is logging their ‘private’ conversations? However the company has been making use of that data, the exposure is a reminder of what could happen if that info fell into the wrong hands.
