I hate those commercials... You know it's funny - Ashley Madison is a perfect example of our society today. Everyone supposedly has morals and it's so evil to commit adultery, but of course sites like this are wildly successful... little hypocritical.
I don't see the issue with Cougar Life and Established Men - I don't believe they openly encourage infidelity - at least not directly. Pretty sure it's just old ladies looking for young dudes and rich dudes looking for trophy girlfriends.
apparently the data wasn't even encrypted. fail
It's a good lesson for people about trusting the internet.
I will say that I bet they could have made alot of money for blackmail material. "1 bit coin and we remove you from the list we release"
Cougar Life did not have to shut down, Established Men did.
The hackers also noted that supposedly deleted accounts, weren't. Guys paid $19.99 to have all their info erased, and the site owners just pocketed the cash.
Moral of the story: If you want to cheat, do it the old fashioned way, as part of a CIA covert op to study the effects of LSD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Midnight_Climax
Moral of *that* story, and a handful of others: Everyone views the Johns as potential targets. Everyone.
:tmyk:
I foresee a class action suit on the pay-for-delete-and-don't issue. Otherwise, curious what the hackers have planned with this treasure trove... Blackmail no doubt.
Or public embarrassment / shaming. Imagine if they found a judge or politician in that database. Hoo-hah!

Is it even a surprise at this point.... I'd be more surprised if they didn't.
EDIT - Actually I would be surprised. They probably have a hotline they call rather than having to resort to search websites.

That was supposed to be a 'Black' project. How did you find out?
I would be interested in seeing a cross reference between the OPM data and this. How many are on both lists? Another fun one would be *.mil and *.gov addresses listed in this breach. Even just a list of domains of registered accounts. Could even leave off the user names. City/State/Zip of billing information? See what city cheats the most? Tons of fun.

which is which? I'm confused
And the data analysis begins... http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-07-22/ottawans-outed-1-5-found-be-cheating-dirtbags-who-deserve-no-discretion
20% of Ottawa's population is registered at Ashley Madison. :drama:
And there is *quite* a density of membership in the postal code corresponding to where most members of Parliament live... :problem?:

The infos got posted.
:haha1:
15k belonging to .mil and .gov addresses... shocker.
Idiots - why on earth would you use your work email? Even to hide from your wife? Make yahoo account or something!

What, you expect people to think about security?

I can't believe that's a real site! Where do I live, under a rock? I Thought if you wanted to cheat, you used Tinder?

you are not the only one man. Love my girl to much to ever want to cheat on her
My wife's studied too much criminal forensics for me to ever want to cheat on her.
I also love her, but, yeah, there's that threat of swift and sure discovery and retribution going in her favor, for sure.
The thing that keeps boggling my mind about this is who in their right mind would register for any non-official website, ESPECIALLY something like this, with a .gov or .mil address? Ok... .mil I can understand more as if I remember correctly that's pretty much all military... including those 18 year old enlisted guys... ;P

"Sir, we found your email address and CC numbers on the Ashley Madison info dump."
Well with dump #2, at least the CEO has to acknowledge the authenticity of the hack.
The best part is if you have a good cyber team they should have a copy of the dump. They need to validate if any users at the company are impacted, and force password changes in case a user is stupid enough to reuse their password. Now imagine that conversation at work. "Hey, Bill we need you to change your password because you had an account at Ashley-Madison."
Also with the .gov/.mil stuff there are concerns with blackmail/espionage for anyone that has access to classified data. Take that a step further, and even if they didn't use their .mil/.gov accounts whoever has the OPM breach data could correlate that info to find matches.
A fun breach all around.

That's one way to collect a large number of valid email addresses to sell.

There's a fairly beefy stack o' emails from the AM leak... now, how many *stay* valid after being revealed is another matter.
On the plus side, this may be an opportunity for some kids to get a crack at all those new job openings about to happen.
Thanks for the laughs guys, this has made my day! :awesome:
I know most people are dumb, but using work emails on there as well. comedy gold!

Haha..... that picture with that caption was epic. I'm cracking up.
Using government email address.. ffs. There is even a huge disclaimer when you log in telling you the gov't routinely intercepts and records data sent over their IS's. People using them have zero expectation of privacy.
The internet needs noobs I guess. Without them nobody would send monies to fictitious women with questionable English and Nigerian phone numbers.
Side story:
I know an IA guy with one confirmed kill. He discovered a higher up member of an agency was using a work computer to view, communicate, and transfer photos of his wife engaged in things that would shock most people. He ended up killing himself over the thing.
Yeah... the Internet is really not the place to do things that you don't want anyone else to find out, ever. There really aren't a lot of good places for that, so probably best to tame the beast and not ever do those things. Life is less stressful when it's lived honestly and cleanly.
