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.

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.

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.

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?:

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!
