    French leak monitoring firm (CybelAngel) said it counted 1,200 email addresses in the data dump with the .sa suffix, suggesting users were connected to Saudi Arabia where adultery is punishable by death.

    Reports also of some registrations from the Vatican, Education, Gov, & even CEO's (using their exchange server addresses) etc...

    1.2m from the UK are registered, that's pretty much one adult on every busy road, bus, tube or train. A mini judgment day of sorts.

    Canada-based Avid Life Media (the company behind Ashley Madison) must have been raking in the cash.
    If average spend is around $100 per active user x37,000,000 (global regs) with little overheads that's a whole lotta cash.
    So maybe $2,500,000,000 as a guesstimate.
    Stock market territory...

    I have no need to check it to see if my OH is on it. Not because he wouldn't cheat, but because I know he wouldn't pay for it!
    I'd say there's a call waiting line as long as a month of Sunday's on divorce solicitors phones today!

    That's sick and depraved.

    I mean, we all want to see the names and addresses, but photos of 115,000 nude Irish people...all that gooseflesh...the bad lighting...

    Surely black mailers could have just set up a fake account for themselves to go on the website and look for people's profiles and then blackmail them before all of this?

    What was to stop anyone using bogus accounts to catch people on it before?

    Because users can't see other users CC details, people aren't getting caught out by their usernames and profile details .. they are getting caught out with CC details as this is the one area one needs to be honest in registering.

    So how do you hook up with someone if you can't see their details?

    I'd imagine you exchange contact details via private messages after liking each others profiles.

    Thing is too, AM have ADMITTED that they added a load of fake profiles for "entertainment" purposes !!

    So there is a load of young pretty female profiles that don't exist, they are there just to bait men to join ... mad really.

    Josh Duggar, a man who campaigns for family values (aka don't let gay people get married) has been found on it. I doubt he will be the last of his type on it either.

    There is a reported case of a gay saudi man who had a profile up there. He could potentially be up for the death penalty now in Saudi Arabia as sodomy is a capital crime there.

    Adultery is too, never mind sodomy.

    Exactly so it would be so open to easily set up a face account and black mailing people.

    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.

    Why bother with cheating, hardly the world's greatest crime, unless some hacker had his eye wiped and decided to lash out?

    Sure, but who do you target ?

    Just a randomer ?

    Normally if someone wants to blackmail someone they have a target in mind.

    i thought people didn't need credit cards to register?
    from what I've read anyone can set up an account with any email address they like. if people wanted to send messages or contact others, they needed a credit card.
    the leak isn't of people with credit card enabled accounts (otherwise there'd be 37m credit card details which had been stolen), it's of profiles, many of which are fake.

    Its not much different to "If you don't want to be robbed, don't own things"

    Not really. It's more like if you don't want to be robbed don't leave your valuable stuff lying around where any tom, dick and harry could get their hands on it. AKA sound advice

    It's ok.

    Every day is another day to teach people to avoid Gawker and its affiliate sites:
    Deadspin, Lifehacker, Gizmodo, io9, Kotaku, Jalopnik & Jezebel.

    All repugnant sites populated by immoral writers.

    Better still, do a crash course in divorce law. There should be plenty of work coming down the line.

    A woman phoned an Aussie show, suspecting her husband was on the list, they checked and told her he was on air! No manners! :pac:

    She of course was an idiot to make such an enquiry. This sort of thing clearly brings the worst/stupid out in all of us.

    I wonder will this create a bounty hunter for exposing mid to small level participants. Everyone will be looking for the celeb who's name will make the front pages but I guarantee there will be a heap of lads in this country who are like ....."yeah my name is there but who is really going to sift through it all and make a big deal about what I done. I'm just small fry"

    Next week he gets contacted from someone saying I looked into who you are. I know you have a family and I know this could destroy your reputation and business. Pay me €3,000 now or else.

    What's people's views on this ? Fair game or just outright dirty
    But what would be the point of that? The database is publicly available so what's to stop anyone else trying to blackmail him a week later. What's the blackmailer's threat? "Pay up or I release this sensitive information...eh which has already been released"

    I have no doubt that the woman who called that show, also works at the radio station.

    Exactly. Blackmail only works if the threat of exposure can be minimised or eliminated on ceding to the blackmailers demands. In this case it cant.

    Mind you, that may not stop some people trying...and some people paying. Dumb people know no limits!

    The other half has to go looking through it to see if they are on it so I guess someone could threaten to tell your partner that you are on it.
