I'm naive I guess, I had no clue what that even was, at least in full

Ashley Madison? It's a private website where married people go to cheat on their spouses.

 

[GATTACA!]

I hope every single user gets exposed. Scumbags.

Yes, I read the article, I have heard the name before, but wasn't aware the extent of it...

This.

Does your wife read this site or something? You're among friends no need to front.

Interesting how many do know it.

They've started running commercials now. It's the only reason I knew the site existed.

I'm more interested in the affect this will have on Ashley Madison than on the people who use it. Adultery has been a temptation since time immemorial, but a private corporation shamelessly profiting off such human weakness is a recent development.

Yeah, they legitimately run TV commercials. I've seen them on at night (targeted audience?) on cable networks as major as Comedy Central and I think even ESPN (but that could be faulty memory).

Here's what's interesting... can you make a fake profile on a site like that? Or do they vet your information? Or...?

I'm assuming it's supposed to be anonymous, but it'd be the greatest long-con ever to make a fake account for, say, Jeb Bush and then hire a team of hackers to then get the information. The 37 million just seems like a shockingly high number that can't possibly be correct for the amount of people who would "actively" use a site like that, so I'm assuming there are a lot of fake/inactive accounts or something.

If this hack is legit (and they don't squash it with copious amounts of hush money) then they are certainly going bankrupt.

It's the least they deserve.

I read nothing good about the site when I first googled it. It seems worse than a lot of dating sites.

Being reported that a while back they had offered their customers the option of removing their account and all of their private info for a fee. Many took them up on this. However, it appears that they took the money, disabled the account, but did keep the personal info. So those who thought they were safe weren't.

 

[Irish YJ]

If they don't do it, someone else will. Not condoning cheating, but cheaters gonna cheat. Human weakness is the responsibility of the human. While internally I snicker at all this, hacking, and making private info public is just wrong IMO so long as the business is legal. Karma will take care of the adulterers.

I'd rather them point their hacking efforts at illegal actions of the government or business.

Exactly.

Is nothing sacred anymore?

This is gross on every conceivable level -- the disgusting business, the scum clients, and the slimy hackers all lack humanity. Here's to hoping that somehow all of them are exposed and suffer because of this?

Sorry guys, but you are buying into the marketing here. Ashley Madison is mostly just a portal for prostitution.

Not many women need to crawl around online looking for anonymous sex. They just don't.

I'd be happy with that...
However what about the single, non adulterers that get caught up in all of this.

I mean, are we really looking forward to knowing all of Koon's favorite sexual positions?

From a historical perspective, no-fault divorce is also a recent phenomenon.

Dude, the fact that that particular thought popped in to your mind is just scary

I wouldn't say new. I've meet women who think looking at porn is cheating, and that ish has been around for a while. Mainly because of people like me.

Yet Tinder is so popular because there is a ton of women just looking to hook up

Is it me or is the timing of this hack/story interesting?

Same goes for the timing and release of that Planned Parenthood video that essentially killed a breast cancer research bill in Congress.

[Irish#1]

I'll be back in a little bit. I need to go and try to delete some things.

 

[phgreek]

Why I'm shocked such a thing exists...

As for everyone getting outed...there are probably kids about to be from broken homes, so it gives me no joy to hear there was such a site, and that people used it, and it got hacked. It'll end up costing all of us normal people somehow in a monetary and/or societal sense...If I ever meet anyone who claims to have been involved in the creation of this, I'm punching them in face.
