No sympathy for anyone that gets outed as a cheat. Tough tit.

The site owners do suffer. Do you really think that people will continue singing up to their website now knowing what was happened?

Also people seem still confused over why this happened - it doesn't appear to have anything to do with what the site is there for, it all happened because AM lied and made a tidy profit from said lie.

The lies could have been shown without the personal information leak.

One guy had a real naive 4chan outlook on it - "If you take a photo, you should expect it to end up online sooner or later". Therefore don't take any photos you don't want online.

That's just sound advice surely?

Do you think that anyone would have cared if someone had simply said, "they lie!"?

The only people the hackers have blackmailed are the owners of the website. The demand was to take the website offline, the threat was to release all information stolen by the hackers. The website could have shut itself down to save the data of its customers, but it chose not to. Hackers followed through on their threat.

Until the names and details are released to a more accessible network or site, (if it hasn't already - Hi 4chan! *waves*) it will be difficult for the average person to search for their information.

That won't stop the average person who thinks of themselves as the guardian of morality either though, remember the Graham O' Dwyer case where ordinary people here went in search of a possible account on Boards? There was the case when the Apple online services were hacked and celebrities had their privacy compromised - ordinary people again went in search of the photos so they could play moral guardians.

The OP isn't too far off when he says Catholic Church 2.0, except that people who consider themselves moral guardians always existed in society. The AM users only have themselves to blame for their stupidity, so as much as I loathe moral guardians, I have little sympathy for AM users whose privacy has been compromised either. They always knew there was a possibility their behaviour could come back to bite them in the ass in some way. The moral guardians aren't any better, but they're hardly going to give two fcuks. As far as they're concerned they're morally superior to the people they expose, and that's why people in this day and age should be more aware of their personal security if they don't want stuff like that coming back to bite them in the ass.

I would advise not downloading this file as it potentially contains credit card and personal information and by torrenting it you could be help responsible for the distribution if illegally obtained personal information and credit card numbers for the purpose of fraud.

Possibly but highly unlikely.

My bet is by tomorrow someone will have a website up with all the names and locations so people can search it.

In fairness, these kind of groups do act as the moral police in many cases - from highlighting security flaws in systems (with the bringing down of the Xbox and Playstation networks that Christmas time), to closing down online paedophile rings.

And when groups like this start outing members of 'mainstream' porn sites because it doesn't fit with their particular moral code?

Or CCBill records detailing the full list of individuals 'interests' based on the sites they subscribe to :eek:

Strange that the hackers are putting themselves out there as the moral police now.

It's nothing new. Hacktavists have been conducting moral crusades for years now on issues like corporate overreach, the environment, political corruption, security & privacy to even paedophilia.

I know I posted something similar in the comments about it being reported there was 15k address from the US government and military.

How stupid do you need to be not to use a dummy address? They take 5 seconds to setup

...no?
Sound advice is, "Don't upload anything you don't want to be on the internet". But claiming that when a photo ends up online it's your own fault for taking the photo, is just straight up victim blaming.

I was downloading it last night and decided against it because of CC numbers so cancelled the torrent. TBH, probably nothing of interest in there for me anyway.

This was the no 1 site , at least the one designed for finding someone to cheat with ,
of course you could use tinder etc to do the same thing .
funny thing every few months theres someone found on facebook getting
married ,
even though he is already married to someone else.
eg committing bigamy .
BECAUSE of course all wedding photos, have to go up on facebook .
if its not on fb it never happened .

A data dump, 9.7 gigabytes in size, was posted on Tuesday...

The files appear to include account details and log-ins for some 32 million users of the social networking site, touted as the premier site for married individuals seeking partners for affairs.

Seven years worth of credit card and other payment transaction details are also part of the dump, going back to 2007.

:eek:
