This is why I hire escorts in cash only transactions to shitty motels. Not that it would matter as not married anyway.

[EliteWebmaster]

I hope it's true. It couldn't have happened to a nicer company.

Have you seen what the hackers are threatening?

“Avid Life Media has been instructed to take Ashley Madison and Established Men offline permanently in all forms, or we will release all customer records, including profiles with all the customers’ secret sexual fantasies and matching credit card transactions, real names and addresses, and employee documents and emails. The other websites may stay online.”

[bronco67]

So funny that hackers are always trying to appear to be on higher moral ground than anyone else.

Life is probably shorter now for anyone who gets exposed.
Either by getting killed by their spouse, or by the stress they will get from this becoming public

[buyandsell]

I hope they do it! want to see how many politicians and people that would be seriously embarassed (as well as in deep shit with their wives) are on there

Life was so much simpler when you just borrowed a friends car and cruised the hooker area of town. lol

That is a lot of information.... Let's just say that data gets out... Wouldn't every user be able to sue them?

[sandman!]

[SplatterMaster]

Nothing you do online is EVER secure or private

[L-Pink]

37 million huh?

There are roughly 190 million US adults between 20 and 65 years of age. That's a hefty share of the demographic.

How much would it really matter if your wife knew you were on a site dedicated to cheating?

"hackers threaten to expose 36,950,000 fake accounts" doesn't have the same zing

[AdultKing]

One of Kreb's commenters aptly pointed out:

Why do all the articles and comments single out the men? They aren’t cheating with each other, it takes a lot of cheating wives and loose single women to make this work.

but I wonder how many profiles on Ashley Madison are fake ? Of either gender.

[EliteWebmaster]

I would guess the a signficiant chunk of the female profiles (~70%) are fake but the male profiles are predominantly real. You wouldn't need to create fake male profiles, the horny bastards are like rats, they sign up on droves without much effort

But if you mean "real" as in real women who are not hookers, then it's even a smaller amount that are loose women or married women. because the site is full of hookers. It might as well be called Hookers Disneyland

[CaptainHowdy]

Some cheaters basically do it to get caught so ...

[Google Expert]

if you are multimillion dollar company the least thing you could do is encrypt everything in DB, but no , here we are again on the storing everything in plain text.

many ppl can easily get access to the DB

(tech employees, former employees, hosting, software engineers etc)

That's what i'm saying.

[Rochard]

If someone was on the site and was using it to cheat and was outed due to a data issue, couldn't they be liable for damages? If someone's spouse left them because of this....

[EliteWebmaster]

Dating sites always have Indemnity Clause to protect them against things like this.

Bill Clinton already in full damage mode yet?

I am not aware of any site that was hacked and a victim sued the website for damages.

[baddog]

How many of those 37 million are fake profiles?

Already disgust above.

[AdultKing]

If someone's spouse left them because of this....

For some of the guys on the site, that might be compensation enough

[CIVMatt]

Good luck to adultfriendfinder and everyone else who's about to experience the movement of everyone deleting all their accounts from other sites. Already starting to see the posts around the web to cancel every service out there.

The funny thing is this is what all the fuss is about.

The hackers say that Avid Life were charging users $20 or so to delete their details from the website.
Unfortunately they removed the details from the site but kept everything in the database.

there is a world outside the US

they have advertised prominently in the past over here as well, i am pretty sure their user base is quite international

[Aka_Bluey]

The plot thickens.

No.48286907
"According to the hackers, although the ?full delete? feature that Ashley Madison advertises promises ?removal of site usage history and personally identifiable information from the site,? users? purchase details ? including real name and address ? aren?t actually scrubbed.

?Full Delete netted ALM $1.7mm in revenue in 2014. It?s also a complete lie,? the hacking group wrote. ?Users almost always pay with credit card; their purchase details are not removed as promised, and include real name and address, which is of course the most important information the users want removed.?

Their demands continue:

?Avid Life Media has been instructed to take Ashley Madison and Established Men offline permanently in all forms, or we will release all customer records, including profiles with all the customers? secret sexual fantasies and matching credit card transactions, real names and addresses, and employee documents and emails. The other websites may stay online.?

So that's all this is about. Nothing to do with morality. Just a bunch of cheaters who got burned and decided to take the whole ship down them.

awesome news! There is about to be a lot more recently single females if this happens.

I would say non trustworthy women but that is pretty much a given anyways..

[L-Pink]

Huh .............. ?

[DBS.US]

Affiliate information may get released too.

[SilentKnight]

From a logistics standpoint - going on the assumption their disclosure threat is real - exactly how would they go about releasing this huge amount of customer data to the public?

I'm sure there's a lot of 'spouses' out there who wouldn't be tech savvy enough to comb through 37million user records to search for their cheating partner. What sort of software would you even use to read that huge amount of data?

[EliteWebmaster]

The plot thickens.

Oh that's just rich, so after I exposed them here below months ago:
http://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-pr...son-shady.html

that they were a scumbag company that were extorting users with a stupid $19 to remove/delete their account, now we learn they never deleted those records like they were supposed to?

I honestly hope the hackers release everything they have, it will cripple AshleyMadison and EstablishedMen and they can kiss their current members and future members goodbye. No sane married men would ever sign up to their sites again once this shit hits the fan.

The only people I would feel sorry after this, is the kids in the marriage of these individuals and the wives who find out their spouse have been cheating

[slavdogg]

the marketing tactic ever

[Bladewire]

I made a post on Krebs about not judging the crime by the victim, low hanging fruit, and those saying they deserved it having the same hackers coming after them.

My post was 'not approved' on Krebs.

Fuck Krebs and his plastic promo face pasted on every page of his site and fuck the people who steal from and bankrupt us, more importantly, FUCK the people who consume what they know is stolen, they get what they deserve.

One of Kreb's commenters aptly pointed out:

There was a guy on Reddit today that used to work for Ashley Madison and did an impromptu AMA. Someone asked him about the fake profiles and he said they worked hard to keep them off the site, but he estimated that about 50% of them were fake, many were amateurs and cam girls trying make money.

Found it. Thanks for bringing this up. I wonder if they will mention the lawsuit by the woman from Toronto. Said she hurt her wrists making profiles.

After the AFF hack, This could be bad for all the dating affiliates.


Love this line. See it all the time on tube sites.

I had to explain at least five times a day that sending women pictures of your dick is literally the WORST first impression you can make. 9 times out of 10 they still didn't get it and would just go upload MORE dick pics.

[_Richard_]

weird, i thought this was just another general hacking story..? however it appears to be more about the $20 to delete info thing

[C H R I S]

The story that wont die.

[EliteWebmaster]

UPDATE: In a statement issued July 20, Ashley Madison said, "As our customers' privacy is of the utmost concern to us, we are now offering our full-delete option free to any member, in light of today's news."

Like that worked soooooo well the last time

[Socks]

Our lawyers told us we had to stop charging, so we stopped.
