    Like all sectors -- government, retail, finance and healthcare -- the adult and porn businesses are feeling the consequences of not making security a priority, in the worst possible ways. Namely, by getting hacked and pwned, hard. Take for example this week's breach-bloodbath, in which FriendFinder Networks (FFN) lost their Sourcefire code to criminal hackers and put their users in serious risk. Combined with Ashley Madison's many deceits, FFN also contributed to the deepening public mistrust about the very sensitive data exchange between adult companies and their consumers.
