Hackers have got all of online adultery site Ashley Madison's data
Hackers styling themselves “The Impact Team” are threatening to put it all out there unless parent company Avid Life Media shuts the site down.
There’s trouble brewing for 37 million would-be adulterers Monday after cheating site Ashley Madison (motto: “Life is short. Have an affair”) fell victim to hackers who claim to have captured the personal information of all its users.
According to the blog Krebsonsecurity.com, the group behind the attack, which calls itself “The Impact Team”, has threatened Avid Life Media, the company behind Ashley Madison, to take it down permanently along with its sister site Establishedmen.com. If it doesn’t, the hackers threaten to publish the whole data dump a little at a time, including users’ real names, credit card numbers and sexual fantasies. (Oddly, it seems to have allowed Cougarlife.com, a site for hooking up older women with “young studs”, to carry on unmolested.)
“Too bad for those men, they’re cheating dirtbags and deserve no such discretion,” the hackers said in a manifesto. “Too bad for ALM, you promised secrecy but didn’t deliver. We’ve got the complete set of profiles in our (database) dumps, and we’ll release them soon if Ashley Madison stays online. And with over 37 million members, mostly from the U.S. and Canada, a significant percentage of the population is about to have a very bad day, including many rich and powerful people.”
The threatened release of the information would expose ALM to legal action from users whose privacy it had promised to defend, the hackers claimed.
The hackers said they had acted to punish ALM for ‘lying’ about its ‘full delete’ service, which charges a $19 fee for deleting not only users’ personal details, but also any messages and images sent to other members.
ALM chief executive Noel Biderman confirmed the leak to Krebsonsecurity. Biderman suggested that the incident might be traceable to someone who had had legitimate access to the company’s data in the past.
““We’re on the doorstep of [confirming] who we believe is the culprit, and unfortunately that may have triggered this mass publication,” Biderman told Krebsonsecurity. “I’ve got their profile right in front of me, all their work credentials. It was definitely a person here that was not an employee but certainly had touched our technical services.”
In a statement later, Avid Life said it had engaged one of the world’s top IT security firms to mitigate the attack. It said it had removed the posts relating to the attack, as well as all Personally Identifiable Information about its users that had been published online.
“Our team of forensics experts and security professionals, in addition to law enforcement, are continuing to investigate this incident,” the company said.
The attack, which comes only weeks after a similar breach at the operator of Adulfriendfinder.com, appears to have done for any reasonable chance of ALM conducting the $200 million initial public offering that it had planned in London for later this year.
The most interesting aspect of this story is that people today are so fugking helpless, and so fugking stupid, they require assistance with having an affair.
JFC. Walk down to the bar, fugk something, and walk back. It's not complicated.
37 million members out of a total population of a little over 300 million. Leave out the kiddo's and the blue-hairs, that's something like 1 in 6 adults in this country.
That's quite.....
Although the best part is that they also own ChristianMingle.com. That cracks me up.

But, but.............when do they get to change their Facebook status, and send their Instagram photos?
Today's helpless fools can't take a crap without being plugged into social media. Their ability to meet actual people, FTF without an iPhone holding their hand is a skillset they don't have.
if you don't mind the occasional robbery at gunpoint in a cheap hotel room, you can just meet women off Craigslist in the Casual Encounters section.
its a good mix of female escorts, psychotic whores, soon to be psychotic whores, women getting back at their husbands whose name was leaked on Ashley Madison.com, and random pics of hot women from around the internet that falls under the "women you would never have a shot to be with so why not just give them your wallet now and avoid getting hit in the head with a pipe by some big dude as soon as you walk in the door" category

I have a friend that had a bad experience on that website.

its like Sears - you don't buy a suit at the same place you buy mowers and tools
Craigslist - you don't meet women at the same place you buy '76 El Camino's and used toilets.

37 million?? Surely they are not all US citizens. That seems to be an incredibly high number, if that's true it's no wonder this country is so morally bankrupt.

A Plea to the Hackers of Cheating Site Ashley Madison, From A Non-Cheater, Who Definitely Did Not Use Ashley Madison For Cheating
Yesterday, AshleyMadison.com, an obviously totally disgusting dating site that helps married people cheat, was hacked by a group threatening to expose the personal information of over thirty-seven million users, including “secret sexual fantasies and matching credit card transactions, real names and addresses” unless the site is taken down. Wow, if I was an Ashley Madison user I would be extremely angry about this security breach. Luckily, I’m not, so I’m not angry. But I would obviously have a right to be. But I’m not.
For instance, what if someone had just recently started trying Ashley Madison for the first time, almost just as a goof, and hadn’t even really done anything that could technically count as “sex” with someone other than their wife but instead was trying things that they knew their wife would never be down for. Take a totally random person. Maybe he’s been married for a few years – let’s say twelve and a half – and he has a few glasses of vino verde one night and starts clickin’ around and finds himself in a space where he suddenly feels uninhibited enough to bring up “horse play,” which is sex revolving around horse role play. Could you describe that man as happier after he finally gets saddled up and horse-shoed and ridden around the “stables” to show off his pretty gait? I don’t know, because that’s not me. But what if that person’s private information was exposed? Doesn’t that seem unfair to you??
If it were me I would be pretty devastated at the prospect of having to recede once more into vanilla, hay-free sex for the rest of my life. I have no personal investment in this whole thing but it almost feels personal because it’s such an affront to all of us.
And this is all because some prude, uptight hackers, who wouldn’t know a good metal bit if it was shoved into their mouths and attached to a bridle and yanked on, want to shut down a website. A website? What harm can a website do?? The whole thing seems laughably silly to me. That’s my general mood right now – carefree laughter at this silly, nutty, goofy, non-horse situation.
Listen, if these hackers or Stephanie or whoever else want to say, “Oh, you can’t name yourself Pepper – that’s a girl horse’s name” then they’re obviously repressed and they’re the ones with the problem, not the curious, brave, take-life-by-the-reins users of Ashley Madison. If I was even slightly concerned about any of this I would probably throw a hail-mary and just plead with the hackers to please please not publish any more information or get Ashley Madison taken down because it would be like the end of Awakenings. But I mean, whatevs.
Dudes at work say they've laid as much pipe on christian mingle as plenty of fish.
Kinda like picking up women in a gay bar, they go there thinking they're safe, so the guards come down..
So one of these guys thought up the idea to hang out in gay bars....and others said -hell yeah thats a plan.....and then guards came down....and then.......
Wife's grandfather (farmer) met his third wife through a personal ad in a newspaper. Told her she had to wait to go out till after he was done combining corn. I just could never see him making a personal ad but hell I guess everybody gets lonely.

Too fuqkin' funny!
Hey, for reals... I was an Ashley Madison customer for a while there in after my last divorce, so I expect my info may be in the mix. Whatevs.
FWIW, Travis's suggestion that you can hook up with women in the local bars quicker and cheaper is prolly true, but this requires 1) you gotta get tipsy to swim in that pool, and 2) the quality of the gals you may hook up with can be on the low side. Been there and done that, not willing to go there again. Course, I don't have Travis's taste for squaw, so that's a real handicap.
Anyways: most of the gals I met through Ashley Madison were cleaner, hotter, more honest, and a damned sight more pleasant than any other dating site I tried. Not to mention willing to get down to business in short order, ahem. I steered clear of the skank sites like Plentyofish.com and Craigslist. Most of the gals I met through Ashley Madison weren't married or even in relationships, although some were, but most were on this site because they didn't want a relationship, or they were looking to scratch a particular itch, and AM caters to that sort of thing... but basically, they just wanted to get laid.

Opposites attract. People who like sex, love people who (eventually) dont (after one of the pair changes).
I have decided that contrary to popular belief, I must be a good husband. Or just really in the dark. I have never even heard of any of these sites except for Craigslist and that's because I sold a fish house and a Grand Wagoneer on there in about 3 seconds flat.
I found about Ashley Madison when my daughter looked at her husband's portable hard drive and found a link to his ad on the site. He is now a single man.
The easiest solution to this is don't cheat on your spouse. It seems like marriage takes on such a shallow, meaningless title these days. This is nothing new those, people have been cheating since way before the internet ever came around. What ever happened to marrying for life, and making that commitment stick?

if 37 million are on Ashley Madison and dudes are getting VD from ChristianMingle.com
maybe gay marriage is a pretty low priority for things hetero people need to worry about.

Your account was hacked at www.ilovemalegenitalia.com Now Caitlyn Jenner is threatening to dump you. The Castro District down low is that you've been seen Frenching RuPaul.

That is just so wrong on so many levels. Great website, though, thanks for the link. Larry Root's even got pics on there. Wait... oh, look! There's Raisui/SansSouci, too!

Dude,
This is dead balls accurate on all levels, including Dave's fascination with male genitalia.
Are you tryin' to tell me that he's gone straight? Is that why he's hittin' on Caitlyn Jenner.
This 'fire has become domain of liberal gun controllers. I darn near forgot my new log-in. Ya see, I have nothing in common with you Romnutty gun controllers.
BTW, I'd go back to Raisuli in a heartbeat were I able to remember that log in info. Raisuli was a man's man, a concept as foreign to you as conservatism.
How much are you funnelin' to Hillary in '16? She says you're her biggest donor.

you're actually anthropomorphizing screen names?
You are one mentally screwed up dude.
Like that one that gets on here and rants about his post count.

Not pickin' on ya, Flave... but I've been gettin' some PM's from members asking if what I wrote about AM is true. I reiterate: it's a great website for single guys to meet hot (and hot-to-trot) females who don't want to mess with the usual online dating bullshit and just want to have a pleasant interlude with an attractive partner. Married guys who play there, well, they're gonna get what they're gonna get. Too bad, so sad, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
BTW, I am not now sayin' nor have I ever said or believed that messin' with married women is smart or safe. Most of the gals on AM ain't married. Just sayin'.
If that's too frank for anyone, go to CVS and buy some Massengill and wash that sand outta yer mangina.
Nah. Can't pretend that's even close to true. I have no idea what his login was. Mine, it's long gone. I think my username was JohnHolmes or somethin' like that.
Well, son, you've been married quite a while so it's of no practical use to ya... so you'll just have to trust me when I tell you that the advantages of using modern technology in all endeavors, especially hooking up with womens, are truly wonderful.
Better quality, better quantity, and they even pay for dinner/gas/hotels.
P.S. Oh, and BTW, there's some websites that are even better than AM. Jut ask Rockinbbar...
I haven't used Ashley Madison but for a couple of years I only plowed OPP. Lots of really attractive , clean , and low drama women who just wanted a little attention. Monday through Thursday mostly and never call them between Friday noon and Moday 8am ish. If you're out of town all week leaving a beautiful woman alone then there is an astronomicaly high chance she's out playing while you're gone. Most guys knew what was going on and they were playing too while out of town. These were mostly upper middle class couples. He wouldn't come home unexpectedly and she wouldn't visit his apartment wherever he worked without calling way ahead.
I ain't old enough to be yer gramps, squirt. Yer dad, maybe. Come to think of it, I recall I might of banged one or two gals along the Hi-Line in the early 70's, so...
