Hacked data from more than 1.1m members of an 'elite' dating site has been sold online, it has been claimed.
The controversial site, BeautifulPeople.com, was hacked in November and details including sexual preferences, income, addresses and 15 million messages between users were stolen.
Now it has been claimed by Forbes the data has been sold online to a mystery buyer.
The contact who handed Hunt the data operated in 'data trading circles', he said.
Other leaked data included weight, height, job, education, body type, eye colour and hair hue, as well as email addresses and mobile phone number.
'We're looking at in excess of 100 individual data attributes per person,' Hunt told Forbes. 'Everything you'd expect from a site of this nature is in there.'
The firm has previously said the data was not from its live server system.
'There has been no new breach of our systemm' the site told dailymail.com via email.
