Just to share my experience of being hacked on POF and the messages from me to POF regarding this as they were very blasé about it which has put me off online dating as per below, also to add that nothing was resolved apart from I lost my POF profile which nothing was done about and I've had to change all my passwords re bank accounts and others:-
I sent this 2 weeks around 23/08/2019 prior to POF responding and had to keep emailing csr@plentyoffish.com for a response.
I log on around once a week to my POF account due to work commitments.
The last time I logged into my account to check my messages was on the 01/09/2019 as Sunday is normally the one day, I choose to log in. On Monday 02/09/2109 and Tuesday 03/09/2109 I received over 200 emails from POF to let me know that I had received messages from certain users, I thought it seemed an awful lot but did not have the time to log into my POF account to check properly as I had to go to work.
On the 04/092019 a friend of mine contacted me as they had seen what looked like my profile but with someone else's images in place of mine, so all the information on my profile including the write-up about me was exactly the same as mine with my images removed and someone else's put in place.
I became rather concerned at this and when I arrive home from work I decided to log into my POF account using my username as above with my password to no avail and then I tried logging in using my email as above with my password, which once again to no avail, it kept stating the details did not match as I had not changed either my username, email or password I was astounded I was unable to log in.
It appears I no longer am able to log into my account and my profile no longer under my control to view, change and reply / send messages. I can only assume my POF account has been hacked into and someone else is now using all my details including any payment facilities I used on POF when I paid for Tokens and someone could now use which I'm most concerned about and would implore POF to look into this immediately please as a matter of urgency as I'm very concerned my personal details have been compromised and are being used by someone who isn't me?
A copy of what was on my profile are attached including my personal images for your perusal, which as stated above is the same profile but my images have been replaced with someone else’s.
Please could this matter also be passed to Mr Markus Frind CEO as he should be made aware?
I look forward to hearing from you regarding this extremely urgent matter.

As my account has been compromised through no fault of mine, I would suggest from a legal stance that POF do more to protects its customers rather than putting them at risk especially of identity theft, putting peoples bank accounts at risk and all sorts of other fraudulent activity that is susceptible.
As this is such a serious matter it really does need bringing to the attention of the CEO Mr Markus Frind to deal with.
Kind regards,

Listen POF, a while back my account was hacked! I can provide you with the persons info and email. I tried contacting someone at your customer service to no avail!
The same person is very abusive and give good men a bad name. Someone please help resolve!
3 times I've had mine hacked! 1st time I just hurled constant forwarded messeges back at them and low and behold, a full refund dropped back into my PayPal account. Then, like an idiot, I rejoined (some people on there are genuine, and I actually had a few women chatting to me).
Hacked Again!! So I JUST, about 2hours ago set up a new account & profile and emailed them asking them to activate it, after all, I am a full paid upgraded member. Within an hour after creating the 3rd account, with a different email, password and even AVG VPN on (shows your IP as anywhere you choose in the world, even Wonderland, UK) it got hacked AGAIN!
Complain, no reply.........and on and on...So I called PayPal. They are on the case.
I've now sent them an email from all 3 emails I've used for each account/profile with the same title: YOU'VE BEEN REPORTED! No reply yet. It states everything that has happened. I attached my receipts & "welcome upgraded member" emails and resent again and again. Always the same. Sorry we have a high amount of emails blah blah blah...
When they have replied they either ask me to be specific about what the problem is
and even a few apology emails telling me to click the link to reset your password! The scammers change the email on the account! Dumbasses! I can tell 100% now that each reply is simply automated, or maybe it was just copied and pasted lol.The funniest thing is, when joining I've been warned before creating my profile that they watch closely and anything abusive etc and your account will be terminated. Yet the hackers get in and I've witnessed one picture going around, dropping messages with dodgy links in them, changing profiles every few minutes. I report them all. The same pic comes back and says hi with a totally different name, profile. If they look like a model, 99.9999999% of the time they're hackers.

Word of advice, NEVER EVER join using any type of card. Use PayPal instead.
Heres an email I sent, just one of hundreds...
Title: ARE YOU KIDDIN ME?????
"Has my account been hacked again already? I cant sign in! I only just made the new account less than an hour ago! Waiting for YOU to activate it because I have already paid for upgraded membership!
Come ON!"
Another...
Title: (can't find it)
"Yes, I received my refund, then I rejoined. Now my account has been hacked yet again!!! Why are you NOT doing anything to HELP ME!!!!
I WANT AN IMMEDIATE REFUND!
You refuse to stop scammers getting onto the site, robbing money from people and hacking their account! Useless!
Now my account has been HACKED AGAIN!
I demand a refund immediately!!!!!
Attached is my receipt proving that I paid and joined a second time. I cannot access my account! You don't even read my emails. Everything you need to know is in my emails to you, but you still keep asking what the problem is. YOU DONT EVEN READ MY EMAILS! Refund me NOW! I will not be rejoining EVER!
SHAME ON ALL OF YOU! You are DISGUSTING!"
Yeah, bit hot-headed there
And finally...
Title: POF REPORTED TO PAYPAL!
"I have reported you to PayPal. My account has been hacked several times. I want a refund. You ignore me. So I called PayPal to get on YOUR case. Refund me NOW to save yourselves a lot of hassle"
Oh, and here's the reply you'll all recognise...

Sigh..... i can now join you all here, my account has been fallen prey to a hacker after years of trouble free use off an on.
my account now magically has two step verification applied to it, and now i get to experience thirsty men filling up my inbox with the most heinous requests.My profile picture now consists of a scantily clad woman with a lot of meet me written in the text to hit the minimum text input to verify as a "profile".
The phone number inputted is now a mystery and all i can do is sit back and endure this until POF thinks this is enough, and close down the account. I had some lovely correspondence with a young lady,Before the account was hacked.She might be somewhere in this lovely country scratching her head wondering what has transpired for me to make a transformation like that, out of the blue. In retrospect this has given me a slight window into what the other sex has to endure on POF on a daily basis. And all i can say "it's not worth it"

I too had my account hacked last night. I am a male but someone deleted all my pictures and changed my profile pictures to a very attractive female and then proceeded to email dozens, if not hundreds of unsuspecting male POF users. They also changed the phone number on file to one with a country code of +44 which I believe is from the UK.
I sent a very detailed message to POF which by the way, is extremely difficult to contact but if you need to the direct email address is: CSR@pof.com the other contact method is a web form with which is buried within their help section and is hard to find. It's almost like they don't want you to contact them.
long story short, the more this person keeps abusing my account and sending out messages to people, the more likelihood my account will be deleted so I want them to secure it as soon as possible!
You know what their response is?
" if you can't verify your account with your phone number, simply delete your account and create a new one!" ( and yes, they actually added an exclamation point At the end of that)
can you believe that? So someone abuses their system, hacks a user's account, a paying user by the way. No, I'm not premium but I have purchased tokens - and they basically told me to delete my account and create a new one from scratch? I'm one of the few users that actually took the time to write a very long detailed description about myself, and totally completed the full chemistry test. All these things took a long time.
Now I'm starting to question if POF is in on the game with the scammers...

It's not that simple. Hackers use Advanced methods these days. I have different passwords for all different accounts. I've had this POF account for three or four years. I was never hacked but I was yesterday... and just Google the search term POF hacked and you'll see how many people have been affected.

Update:
The first email I received from POF after 8 emails on my part told me to simply delete my account and create a new one.
I received a second email telling me that my account has essentially been frozen for lack of a better term and to reset my password. As I explained eight times, I cannot reset my password because the hacker changed my phone number and then require Authentication ( an Antiquated form of authentication that doesn't take into account the original users original phone)
I received a third email from them saying that my account had suspicious activity and has now been closed.
Class action lawsuit anyone?

I also was hacked. They changed my images and began sending messages to unsuspecting people with a hi and kiss emoji. I was able to get into my account and deleted it. I did send an email to pof but I really don't have much hope, given similar situations and responses. Lesson learned. I will never do that again.

My account was hacked they kept my pictures and deleted everything I wrote. I hadn't signed out on the app so I saw them sending a stupid link about if they wanted to have sex. I felt violated I had received texts about the code I need to login yet they got on my profile anyway. I was signed up less than a week. Apparently I had been hacked in the past and my account had been shut down which annoyed me as I had messages on there from someone I had been talking to. My phone had started to blow up with loads of messages I thought odd until I saw all the messages they had sent hi to loads of men and then sent a link, they put a caption under my selfie to add them on snapchat. That's my personal pictures pof need to fix this I will never go on pof again, and also it worries me as my postcode and personal details are on there.

Right - it's not the password...if only it was that easy. I've been a POF member for years with no problems, however, my profile was hacked last fall and after repeatedly trying to resolve the issue with POF over the phone and online numerous times, I give up.
I kept creating a new profile and after accessing it one time, I could no longer access it (this happened at least 5 times). I mentioned to them that I thought my profile had been hacked, but they denied that there was any hacking going on with their website (so, I just made this up?). POF knows it's a problem, but either they don't care, or it's beyond their capacity to fix. :-(

Update 3/8/20
Seems pof aren't very good at keeping there site secure.
Only been on this site for just over a week,made a very strong and secure or what I thought was secure password(I'm very tech savvy) and hackers have not only changed all my photos etc but all my search criteria and even had the cheek to send out messages to men ....
They even changed my mobile number to try and stop me getting in in some feeble attempt !!!.
For goodness sake why do some folks hack a profile in the 1st place as it makes absolute no sense whatsoever???.
Currently awaiting pof HQ to get back to me

I have had my account hacked also. Sent email and have to wait one to two days?? This is ridiculous. I'm an upgraded member and can't shut it down? Email has obviously been changed and can't reset password. I am beyond frustrated. How do I get my money back? How do I stop my profile being blasted out there? What can I do to fix this terrible situation?

As a tech expert in this field, I can tell you that PoF is notoriously insecure. Historically PoF used to email users their password every day along with their matches. The mere fact the password was stored on the database in plain text was shocking, but emailing the password to users everyday is horrendous.
A few years ago they were hit by a huge SQL injection attack, which is a very trivial thing to pull off (and trivial to prevent, if you care about security for your users). I suspect such incidents are still open to happen, as there are odd tell-tale signs of poor character escaping and poor synchronisation between client and server. Like how quotation marks duplicate everytime you update your profile (likely a dodgy regex trying to replace the ' but duplicating it instead). Or how your display name is allowed to be 120 chars but only 100 ever get displayed. These are typically signs of poorly maintained code.
I remember having a look at their clientside code a few years ago and I was absolutely gob smacked. The validation on the clientside was comprised of about 500 'if' statements looking for certain strings that had clearly been used to spam the site. Like "if name == 'fake'" "if name == 'aa'" "if name == 'aaa'" etc.
I heard that the original developer made the site as a learning experience. But I had hoped Match would've improved security since taking charge of it - let's hope they have done.

This should say *was* notoriously. As I can't comment on the current state of the site's security or code quality. I'm sure much has changed and hopefully things are much better now... I'm sure any more recent account breach issues in this thread are isolated cases rather than an issue with the site's overall security.

I think it is an error on PoF's part because I use a 30 character secure password like this thanks to Bitwarden

I am also on point with my cybersecurity
