The Adult FriendFinder hack occurred in March, but the website wasn’t named at the time. The hack includes private information from the website’s more than 64 million users. This includes zip codes, email addresses, usernames and passwords, but not credit card information, reports CNNMoney.

The hack was done by a person that goes by “ROR[RG]” online. This person attempted to blackmail Adult FriendFinder with the information for $100,000. The information has been leaked and several people have used it to track down people in real life and out them as users of the website, CNNMoney notes.

The hack of Adult FriendFinder also revealed that many of its users were men. One report on the hack looked at the ratio of men to women on the website and found that it was 16 to one in the United Kingdom, reports Business Insider.
