Hackers Threaten to Expose 37 Million Cheating AshleyMadison Users

AshleyMadison—tagline “Life Is Short. Have An Affair”—is an online site that facilitates cheating among its 37 million users. It’s a service founded on confidentiality and privacy, which now seems to have all of its data in the hands of hackers. They’re demanding the company take down the site, or they’re going to out a lot of adulterers.
 
The hackers, going by the name “The Impact Team,” posted a small sample of sensitive data (since taken offline) stolen from Avid Life Media, the company that owns AshleyMadison, along with other hookup sites Cougar Life and Established Men. The data was accompanied by a statement, demanding the takedown of AshleyMadison and Established Men. If that doesn’t happen, the hackers are threatening to leak the full details—names, addresses, sexual fantasies—of AshleyMadison’s 37 million users.
 
Speaking to security blog KrebsOnSecurity, ALM Chief Executive Noel Biderman confirmed the hack, condemned the “criminal act,” and said the company was working hard to have the data taken down.

The Impact Team’s beef with Avid seems to lie with the Full Delete feature offered by AshleyMadison—a $19 service that allows users of the site to erase their profile, and all accompanying information. According to The Impact Team, that service is a lie—it claims that although profile information is removed, credit card details, including real name and billing address—remain online.

 

That frames the hackers as the good guys, campaigning against a lying company; of course, a trove of personal information, including credit card details, can be worth serious money to the right people.

 

It goes without saying that this is about the worst data leak imaginable—not only does it have the usual problems of identity fraud, but if the full list of AshleyMadison’s users hits the internet, that’s a lot of adulterers outed.

God damnit, now I have to explain to my wife why someone on Bulgeria is using our credit card.

 

I can't really she how releasing peoples personal data will help the hackers course in any way.

They have already shown that the company is lying to their customers. What good does releasing sensivete information do?

it’s unclear how much of the AshleyMadison user account data has been posted online. For now, it appears the hackers have published a relatively small percentage of AshleyMadison user account data and are planning to publish more for each day the company stays online.

Even if you dont agree with what people use the website for, still leaking their info is horrible. 

Sorry, I have my own opinion and reasons why I think it should be leaked.

 

I'd rather get hit with hard truth than live a lie...

If the hackers are somehow looking at this they should make a website where a user can type in someone's name and see if they were on this site instead of just leaking the info on like pastebin.

I never said I approved of the method they were using.

And it's not like there is a legal way to find out. It's not like the justice system works, it works in the favor of those who manipulate it.

But I guess in the 21st century a vow means very little and people forget the "till death do us part". :)

I think it serves those people good for cheating and if they believe the internet to be a safe place for their information... sadly they should think again.

The grey line of releasing the members' names is one thing, but releasing their personal and financial info is another. That's a line that should pretty much never be encouraged to cross. :/
