"Mixpanel is aware of reports that Pornhub has been extorted with data that that was allegedly stolen from us," Mixpanel told BleepingComputer.

"We can find no indication that this data was stolen from Mixpanel during our November 2025 security Incident or otherwise."

"The data was last accessed by a legitimate employee account at Pornhub’s parent company in 2023. If this data is in the hands of an unauthorized party, we do not believe that is the result of a security incident at Mixpanel."

So Mixpanel may well be just disclaiming responsibility here to limit exposure, but if they're correct, then it's not necessarily true that ShinyHunters are behind all the MixPanel stuff.
