Stolen Ashley Madison user data published by hackers |
2015-08-19 |
![]() From JewHadi Hackers who hit cheaters' dating site, Ashley Madison, published stolen customer data, experts said Tuesday. The data is posted on what is known as the "dark web," a part of the Internet that can't be searched by Google or most common search engines. It also can only be viewed with a special Tor browser, according to Per Thorsheim, a cybersecurity expert in Norway. The information that was posted included customer names and credit card numbers, Thorsheim said. The amount of money they spent on the site was also posted. The site, which is owned by Avid Life Media, is designed to help married people cheat on their spouses. Its slogan is ,"Life is short. Have an affair." It said it's actively monitoring this situation and working with law enforcement in the United States and in Canada, where the site is based. |

#3 I wonder how many .gov and .mil email addresses were discovered, and how many of those presently have security clearances. Just sayin'. |

#2 I"m curious who would even use Ashley Madison. It just seems like an advertisement saying 'black mail me'. I'd always assumed that would be the girls blackmailing their date but hackers will do. |

#1 Just a reminder to hackers. If you operate outside the law, someday you might tick off someone else who will operate outside the law. |
