Unconfirmed reports (largely from horny and very upset Twitter users) are reaching us this morning that everyone's favourite adult entertainment website*, Pornhub, was taken offline.

Seemingly claiming responsibility for the outage is the hacker group @PoodleCorp, who you may remember are the very same collective that reckon they caused the Pokemon Go blackout last month. These guys really don't care about your hobbies. https://twitter.com/PoodleCorp/status/761095773631098880 The news obviously spread quickly on social media, particularly amongst American users for whom it happened in the middle of the night - prime laptop under the covers time. It's fair to say they were not best pleased. https://twitter.com/HumanoidGustav/status/761099897596555264 https://twitter.com/James_amaya23/status/761100329169526785 https://twitter.com/James_amaya23/status/761100884306595840 https://twitter.com/SantansTWD/status/761106498915139584 https://twitter.com/JayrA7X/status/761100250857615361

Poodle Corp were loving it.

But luckily for porn aficionados the supposed hack didn't go on for too long. The site appears to be back in business.
