Thanks! - jaxun, on 10/12/2007, -5/+82Hey Bill, I think I found it. I just need to have your expiration date and that 3 digit code on the back to be sure. Oh, and your pin. Yeah, should be able to tell if it's yours pretty quick.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+64Who the hell pays for porn?
- adizzle, on 10/12/2007, -4/+58"If they got rid of all the porn on the internet, there would be only one site left. It would be titled: Bring Back the Porn"
- Dr. Cox from Scrubs - detrate, on 10/12/2007, -2/+31Who would be embarassed for downloading such quality movies as "Moulin Splooge", "I dream of weenie" or "May the foreskin be with you"?
- stevesearer, on 10/12/2007, -6/+31I just did a search on google for the file they named in the article and came up with this:

- Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21Wow, 17 million people are going to get involved in a very embarassing case of identity theft
- kosibar, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21Bill: The first digit of a credit card will tell you what kind of card it is:
3 = American Express
4 = Visa
5 = MasterCard
6 = Discover - snlildude87, on 10/12/2007, -5/+23*cough* bittorrent *cough*
- juanbobo808, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18$10 to the person who first finds the usernames and paswords to all those sites...
- Phil246, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13hate to burst your bubble but they are claiming that they are being framed :

Saw the same thing at the same time eh benb :D - snlildude87, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16detrate, don't forget 'grand theft anal 4' and 'what happens between my ***** stays between my *****'

Have fun. - snlildude87, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17you're forgetting horny little teenagers, people who just broke up with a girlfriend, and the 40 year old balding fat man who lives in his mother's basement.
- admanimal, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15In other news, the U.S. government just bought the names of 17 million porn subscribers off the black market and told Google they were off the hook.
- megabytehl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12only 45GBs? I know a guy who has a terabyte RAID array dedicated to it.
- Misanthrope, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Are some of you people actually saying that you DON'T look at porn? What are you...inhuman? You'd have to be dead inside. Looking at porn isn't "adultery" or "cheating". Take your high and mighty attitude elsewhere, thanks. If men weren't allowed to look at porn, I think there would be a lot more cheating going on in the world...thank god for porn. Praise Jesus for the porn. Love the porn.
/at work...missing the porn. - scotty588, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12err I posted this on digg over a day ago.
http://www.digg.com/security/Porn_Billing_Leak_Exposes_Buyers - masterdebater, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The funniest thing occured to me - Ibill, used to be a Worldgroup BBS way back in the day (yeah way way back... yikes) - when I was running a WG/Galacticomm BBS back then also. I remember reading alot of information around the time they starting moving over to being an online processor and letting their BBS system decay (and it was busy as hell too), about how to easily hack their key system and get access. I remember being in some IRC channels and watching people hand out passes to all the pr0n sites, and all of them were IBILL sites - scary.
- chaosbuddha, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Mynickel is notorious for this, he did it to me and not only stole my headline, explaination, and link but he then posted a comment to my digg telling me my article was the dupe. this guy should get his account deleted
- opera, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6"It serves them right for watching porn!"
No, but it serves them right for paying for it. - benb, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Well, iBill says it isn't their info according to the follow up article on Wired:
http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,70380-0.html?tw=wn_technology_1
Doh...Phil beat be to it. :) - aaronlidman, on 10/12/2007, -18/+23people who prefer the HD video content on their favorite sites rather than the teenie tiny sample videos put out for freebees.
- dpk87, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8well its just names, addresses, and phone numbers. All of which is easily accessible in a phone book.
- Dirkfett, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5There's always the podcast porn.. Jizznation and Command Me.
- TechnoPops, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Yep, iBill is an online recurring payment processor, according to their Web site.
http://www.ibill.com - opera, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6The file is from 2003... That's _old_... Means people who bought Dirrty cumbags #67 isn't listed.
So, it's kinda useless. - snoble, on 10/12/2007, -6/+11You think maybe, just maybe, it's not the system that's being abused. It's just that most people would rather not read your particular comments? Having comments that people don't want to read filtered out is the intent of the system.
- Tobey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5A 214 MB text file? What the hell could be in that thing? 17 million names, emails and IPs users perhaps? The world may never know...
- scotty588, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4multivariate I completley agree with you. I posted this comment and I get negitive diggs when I had the story posted over a day ago. I don't know what digg is coming too or maybe the guy that submitted this story has a bunch of clone accounts making his story rise and negitive digging my comments.
- jo42, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"a terabyte RAID array dedicated to it."
Is that all? - volz0r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3iBill is not a porn site. It used to be the largest online payment processor, and was extremely
popular with porn sites because of it's interface and account management. As far as people
paying for porn, well, I'm guessing that not everyone is a prepubescent teenager who doesn't
have a credit card. - stevesearer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Sorry, I guess I gave misleading info. I didn't actually view the file, only found the link. Thumbs down to me :(
- osbjmg, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8You're -- don't forget it, numbnuts (mod this down, it was just for his schooling)
- mcbean, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I wonder how much it sold for on the open market. More than $10, but it would suck to find out just how little your name was worth to some Russian mobster etc.
- Everman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I don't think iBill is a porn site, as it was used for billing customers for the ill fated MMORPG Horizons. Which I guess had naked dragons since dragons don't wear clothes.
- JoshuaWood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2iBill is claiming that they're being framed, and a comparison of internal databases and the databases on the net, only match 3 email address.
- freebirdpat, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7Also, what is your mother's maiden name by chance because I think its in here....
- Botond, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7As a security measure, we're also going to need your email address with password along with your social security number for verification. Have a nice day.
- Moppy, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6I wonder how much 17 million credit card numbers will run you.
- multivariate, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I'm a little confused here. The person who posted a comment about this being a dupe gets negative comments, but the person who comments on that comment gets positive feedback?? Did I miss the memo where they explain the comment system?
- JorgeGT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1have you ever thought... well, you have tons of different pr0n vids *everyday*, so... how many they record a day? there are freaking millions terabytes (well maybe a few less :P) of porn !! This stuff has to be made everymoment, everywhere!!
- jnorris441, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm pushing 3 TB thanks to empornium and puretna (not including decrypted dvds). So that's just a sad little tidbit about me.
- bobbknight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No Digg
Miss leading headline, another case of data being miss use by a credit data intermediary.
Inside Job. - Cerberus047, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1phew as long as i can still get mine thrrough bittorrent!
- Dash-2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2only idiots pay for porn. The best stuff is free.
- Dellitron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Its was common knowledge that iBill email addresses were being SOLD - via techs that worked at iBill - these eMail lists - are worth major money to PORN Spammers - the management at iBill did nothing to very little to prevent the IT staff from re-selling the names - this is like a ENRON for billing companies
- everfalling, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2the world loves a good wank.
- junkyinny, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1porn should be free always
