***Original thread with previous details: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/432941-update-the-ashley-madison-hackers-just-released-all-of-their-stolen-data/

 

And I thought 10GB was all of the leaked information. Nope, not even close. Impact team, the hacking team behind the Ashley Madison leak, has just dumped 20 more gigabytes onto the dark web. This is in addition to the 10GB they dumped a few days ago (see link above). 

 

So what all is included in the newly leaked 20GB of data? The email box of the Ashley Madison CEO has seemed to leak, so those should be some very fun and very interesting emails to read through. Other things include internal Ashley Madison data, such as files related to the website's design, development, and product teams. And that's just what we know from looking at the compressed folder names. 

 

The previous 10GB of leaked data was verified as legitimate, so it's safe to assume that this newly dumped data is legitimate as well, but wait for people the shift through all of those files. I wonder how much data they actually have on Ashley Madison... I wouldn't be surprised if more information were to be leaked now...

Meh, a whole bunch of information I couldn't begin to care about.

There must be so many people feeling nervous right now.

And this is what they deserve for cheating on their significant other.

I personally think this is awesome and hilarious that the hackers did this. Feel free to disagree

While I certainly think it sucks for these people.  We have needed one of these hacker groups to actually just publicly dump all the info.  We need a huge catastrophic corporate meltdown in order to get people to take security seriously.  Everyone keeps hearing about 50 million accounts hacked, 100 million accounts hacked, but nothing really ever publicly comes of it.  There aren't millions of people getting their identity stolen, no on is really losing face, companies aren't taking any real hits.  We need some kind of mega event to get everyone to actually care.  It needs to truly destroy a company and truly harm tons and tons of users. 

 

I would have hoped this would be the event to do it.  I can't really see AM surviving this with their name intact.  But I doubt it will shake up the industry at all, nor do I think users will even consider security for an extra second in the future.  Everyone falls into the "watering hole" mindset, where the bad things that happen to others can't happen to themselves. 

 

Though it is nice to see a group actually make good on their threat, from a schadenfreude point of view..  There is a lot of empty threatening going around, and it gives people this false sense of security.  Since people/groups make these big claims, then do nothing.  And while I think it sucks for these people, and it really isn't right to steal the info and release it publicly, I feel like we have been living lives on the internet with all the vault doors unlocked.  And no one cares or does anything about it.

I enjoy it, because its things like this the ensure more computer security jobs.
 
So thank you hackers, for increasing my potential job outlook.

THERE'S SOURCE CODE!!!

I'm conflicted on this. It feels awesome that a bunch of dirtbags got found out, but on the other hand I wouldn't want this to happen to me(not even in this context, just in general).

The moral of that story is that the idea of currency is impossible to sustain, and slowly going to go obsolete.

Create a spreadsheet named "Ashley_Madison_Leak"

Insert a long list of randomly generated names with fake addresses and then yours in between

Leave the laptop open with the screen timeout disabled and point a camera at it

Wait for your other half to look at it and read it

????

be a Youtube millionaire (and single) by the end of the week

They only did it because Avid Life Media charged people to get their data deleted - but even though Avid got the money, they kept the data.

 

People that used this site deserve anything that is coming at them

You can report your own post to make it go away. I sat down and read the ENTIRE CoC page

I'd rather not bother the mods like that. They are fairly efficient as it is, considering the amount of traffic the LTT forums get.

There's being found out then there's being doxxed and having your credit card info stolen.

Which I will use to buy more por.. I mean education things

Just read a local newspaper that someone in UK already filed for divorce after finding out her husband has cheated on her through the leak. Not much on the details though.

Didn't Linus "accidentally" leak his credit card info and then cancel it? I think someone's being preemptive.
