“The passwords of all xHamster users are properly encrypted, so it is almost impossible to hack them. Thus, all the passwords are safe and the users data secured."<p>The passwords are hashed using unsalted MD5.
how I use porn sites:<p>1. register an email account to some unknown email provider with unintelligible username and email names and don't use it for anything after registration.<p>2. register to a new google account with another unintelligible username and email names referring to backup email registered in 1 and don't use it in any personal or professional needs.<p>3. go to porn sites.<p>4. after some time register a new google account referring to email registered in 2 and never use the old 2 emails in 1 and 2 again.<p>5. repeat 4 every 6-8 months.
i can hardly imagine in what situation i would register an account on such sites using a cooperate email address... I mean, not only that i would expect those to be property of my employer (including mails sent and received that is) and thus potentially monitored for whatever reasons but i would also fear to get their brand into a situation like this.<p>I wonder if these people never considered to have a separate private mail address and what might be the reason for that.
I don't know why anybody would register for a porn site just to comment. And, even if you do want to register, you can use any temporary email provider to keep your real emails safe.<p>The best one out there is <a href="http://mytemp.email" rel="nofollow">http://mytemp.email</a> , I use it almost every day, sometimes for newsletters and sometimes to check product trials.<p>Seriously guys, people really register on porn sites?
