High Tail Hall, an adult website for furries, has been hacked, leaking member data online.

Furries, for those unfamiliar with the term, are people who like to dress up and pretend to be animals. High Tail Hall pitches itself as an interactive puzzle game for furries “where you can have erotic encounters with the surrounding characters.”

The hack was first detected by monitoring site Have I Been Pwned, which claims that High Tail Hall suffered a data breach of multiple repositories of customer data in August.

“Several months later, the data surfaced on a popular hacking forum and included 411,000 unique email addresses along with physical and IP addresses, names, orders, salted SHA-1 and salted MD5 hashes,” the site noted.

Have I Been Pwned contacted the company behind the game as soon it became aware of it. HTH Studios said it had fixed it. HTH Studios said in a blog post today that no financial data was stolen and that the breach relates only to an old website that was replaced by a new one in October that offers “a much more advanced and stable security system.”

Users are being encouraged to reset their passwords and the company has made an appointment to discuss the matter with law enforcement.

The data breach of High Tail Hall is said to be one in a series of hacks that has affected adult sites in recent times. The BBC reported that eight pornography sites, including one known as Wife Lovers, were hacked, exposing more than 1.2 million email addresses in October.

The hack of the Wife Lovers site harks back to the famous hack of cheating website Ashley Madison in 2015 that saw the release of between 30 million and 40 million user records.
