Rumors of an attack on the popular dating site first surfaced after a blog posting from tech reporter Bryan Krebs revealed a security vulnerability in a third party library used by eHarmony for content management, potentially endangering user information.

Quick to do damage control to protect its flagship site, eHarmony reassured its members that it was not the eHarmony dating site that had been attacked, but a sister site called eHarmony Advice.
