The story
A rumor that hackers are about to leak FANZA purchase histories has become a hot topic on 5ch’s “Nandemo Jikkyo G” board. The thread’s original poster urged everyone to delete their accounts, warning that “it wouldn’t be surprising if it hit any day now.” Opinions flew back and forth over how to respond — from users confident they’re safe because they never registered an address or credit card, to others pointing out that even deleting your account might not erase the records the operator keeps on file. There’s no confirmation any leak has actually happened; for now, it remains just a rumor circulating online.
What people said
Isn't this basically obstruction of business by force (a criminal charge for threats/disruption)?
Are you a virgin or something?
And the card's barely usable on it anyway
In a way it's a classic like Doraemon, so I'm safe
Your credit card has your real name on it though
Not that that makes it okay, though
If you've got any internet literacy, you'd normally buy with a prepaid Vanilla VISA card
Eh, that's pretty standard
They could still blackmail you for money though
Can't help it, stuff like otokonoko (feminine-presenting men) and newhalf (trans women in Japanese adult content) ends up mixed in there
I think it's pointless unless you break into the server before the hacker does and erase every trace of yourself completely
Change your email address first, then delete the account
Saved
Do you use a dedicated address for it?
I'm still using the same one from my college days, so if it leaks, my friends from back then would find out.
Since becoming a working adult I've switched to a new, separate address, so it's fine with my newer friends at least
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
FANZA is an adult video streaming service operated by the DMM Group, and this “leak theory” didn’t originate from any official announcement — it appears to have started as an online rumor. Within the thread, some pointed out that credit card payments require real-name registration, making users easier to trace, while others noted that the longer you’ve used an email address, the easier it becomes to identify you — meaning the assumption that “not entering an address makes you safe” overlooks an easily missed risk. There were also voices assuming the hackers must be from Russia, North Korea, or China, but these are nothing more than baseless speculation. The point that purchase logs may remain with the operator even after an account is deleted was also a question the thread never fully resolved.
