Maybe the users are the ones laying on the track after a night of partying and the train coming for them is the punishment for their adultery.
Commenting on the revelation, Newlitz said, “Ashley Madison is a site where tens of millions of men write mail, chat, and spend money for women who aren’t there”. After the information was released, various sites popped up where people can check whether their partners subscribed to Ashley Madison.
They all seek class-action status to represent the estimated 37 million registered Ashley Madison users.
According to the Wall Street Journal, following the first breech of the Ashley Madison website, Zu expressed knowledge relative to a secure information link that had not been previously disclosed.
Avid Life Media, Inc., the parent company of hacked extra-marital affairs site Ashley Madison is in more than a spot of bother this week with multiple lawsuits being filed against the company. If you’ve been following the controversy surrounding the site’s data breach and the resultant fallout, you’ll know that’s really saying something.
A representative told the news outlet: “Nerve was exploring strategic partnerships in May of 2012 and reached out to Noel to determine Avid Life Media’s interest in the property”. I got their entire user base. “I haven’t seen anything like it”, Hammond said.
Avid Life has put a reward of up to $500,000 (Canadian) for anyone who provides information leading to the arrest of those involved in the Ashley Madison breach.
In the same source, Mr. Evans was reported to have explained that the hack has already resulted to a series “spin-offs of crimes and further victimization”. The user information on the data dump included full names, addresses, emails, transaction history and credit card information. After the incident, the Toronto police expect at least two suicides as being the direct effect of the hacking incident, which is why catching the culprits is so important before more users of the website decide on taking their own lives. Many work in the White House, the Justice Department, and Congress. Hundreds of emails are related to federal, provincial, and municipal employees throughout Canada as well.
