RedTube experienced a significant data breach in 2020, where user data was compromised.
In November 2020, RedTube, along with other adult websites under the MindGeek banner, was involved in a security incident where a database containing personal data of users was exposed. The breach reportedly affected millions of users, with information such as usernames, email addresses, and passwords being compromised. This incident raised concerns about user privacy and security on adult platforms, prompting discussions about the need for stronger cybersecurity measures. MindGeek, the parent company, faced criticism for its handling of user data and the delay in notifying affected individuals. The breach also led to legal challenges and increased scrutiny from regulators regarding the protection of user information on adult content websites.
