Ashley Madison website hit with £368 million lawsuit led by livid widower

Coty suggested Ashley Madison would disappear following the furore.

More says his intention is not to “out anyone”, only to analyze data that can teach clients how password tendencies and weak security measures are exposed. Some spouses may choose to remain in the dark, which is a completely understandable choice, some marriage may end in divorce (also understandable), but then there is another question that remains to be answered: what about users who used their work email to sign up to the site?

The plaintiff is Eliot Shore, an Ottawa widower. He claims to never have cheated nor met up with any members of the site.

The tech website said it was given a contact email address for the hackers, who call themselves the Impact Team, by an intermediary. Earlier in the week Impact Team began to release the information, as promised, in a series of waves throughout the week.

A man from New Zealand said blackmailers are requiring him to pay in bitcoins following a leak of his Ashley Madison account data, the Stuff website reported. GUEST: Boston Globe technology reporter Hiawatha Bray.

A $578 million class-action lawsuit was filed by a pair of Canadian law firms on August 20, Thursday, representing around 39 million Canadian subscribers to the adultery website, after their personal information was released to the public.

Lawyer Ted Charney said, “They are outraged that AshleyMadison.com failed to protect its users’ information”.

The new release “appears to contain all of (parent company chief executive Noel Biderman’s) business/corporate emails, source code for all of their websites, mobile applications, and more“, TrustedSec said in a blog post.

“Be careful posting personally identifiable information that could compromise your or others’ security”, the advice said.

His son, Jason DeZwirek, owns 15 per cent, and the family’s investment company, Icarus Investment Corp, holds another 10.8 per cent, giving the DeZwireks and their related companies a 30.5 per cent stake in Avid Life Media. In the interview, Impact Team says that it started collecting the data “a long time ago”, and Motherboard points out that it once claimed to have been at this for years.

“People are much more vulnerable than they believe”, Jody Stahancyk, a longtime divorce attorney in Portland, told KATU. The US Postal Service and its internal watchdog also plan to review whether or not some of the agency’s employees may have violated federal policies by using their government email on the website.

The personal information of hundreds of government employees have been exposed by Ashley Madison hackers.
