‘All Canadians’ Hit Ashley Madison With $578 Million SuitThe suit against Avid Dating Life and Avid Media, the Toronto-based companies that run Ashley Madison, was filed on Thursday in the Ontario superior court of justice. The Canadian law firms Strosberg LLP and Charney Lawyers and Sutts filed the suit, saying they were doing so on behalf of “all Canadians” who had been affected by the data dump. The Associated Press notes that hundreds of email addresses involved in the hack are linked to government workers in Canada, as well as members of the military and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
No commentary other than this is getting very messy ...Comment

It does not matter how much you spend on trying to secure your members details. If they can hack into the CIA, Military, security firms, Banks and other Gov agencys they sure as hell will get your members details if they really want them. One thing the internet is , is not safe and never will be.Comment

I disagree, sure there is always some amount of uncertainty when doing anything online but good operational security usually works just fine in most circumstances. The hackers gave an interview in which they claim the password to access the root of all the servers and VPN's was simply Pass1234 to get thru BOTH layers...........then unencrypted member info. I mean come on, that is just plain terrible right? THey then just dumped all the info, it wasn't rocket science for them. AM did absolutely NOTHING about their security, they had none at all.Comment

they said they had their financial records too, now that I would like to see, if they are making as much as they say or it's really not all that profitable.Comment

That will have to be discovered in the lawsuit if this claim survives the preliminary hearing.
I don't know and you don't know unless you have seen the data that was leaked.Comment

I have not seen the data and never will even though it's everywhere but I didn't know if they released their financial stuff or not yet, if not I bet they will in the future to keep this alive even longer.Comment

Wonder if any dating or dating related affiliate programs have quietly turned up the shave.Seeing AFF Canadian sign-ups taking the biggest hit. Numbers usually stay pretty consistent (based on over 15 years of heavy promotion). US numbers down but not as significantly as Canada. UK not affected at all at this point.
Still too early to be able to say that A M is the only reason for current drops.

If anything, an intelligent company would be adding affiliate sales to its best whales, hoping to prevent them from moving their traffic elsewhere. Shaving a few sales is a meaningless amount of money compared to preserving traffic from meaningful providers.
In the one sale every few months crowd shaving makes zero sense. Nobody making millions a year is sitting around thinking about ways to scam twenty bucks from a one sale affiliate. In fact, many companies don't want to deal with one sale affiliates at all anymore.Comment

Want a clue? Check the AM processing before and after the hack -- same processor?
From what I have read to date in the media, customer credit card data was not compromised -- only truncated data xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-1234 by one account. The damages are only defamatory by the accounts cited ...Comment
