Hackers expose millions on cheating site; some in US govt

Hackers say they have exposed unfaithful partners across the world, posting what they said were the personal details of millions of people registered with cheating website Ashley Madison.

A message posted by the hackers alongside their massive trove accused Ashley Madison's owners of deceit and incompetence and said the company had refused to bow to their demands to close the site.

"Now everyone gets to see their data," the statement said.

Ashley Madison has long courted attention with its claim to be the Internet's leading facilitator of extramarital liaisons, boasting of having nearly 39 million members and that "thousands of cheating wives and cheating husbands sign up every day looking for an affair."

Its owner, Toronto-based Avid Life Media Inc., has previously acknowledged suffering an electronic break-in and said in a statement Tuesday it was investigating the hackers' claim. U.S. and Canadian law enforcement are involved in the probe, the company said.

The Associated Press wasn't immediately able to determine the authenticity of the leaked files, although many analysts who have scanned the data believe it is genuine.

Nothing will top those government lawyers who got paid $225,000 a year to watch porn all day long.

Names. We want names. The media couldn’t get over something the Duggar boy did at age 14. Let’s see what some of our 50-70 year old officials have been up to.

Whoever did this will have a lot to answer for when he meets his Maker.

There are already reports of suicides, etc., linked to this.

Yeah, it is wrong to cheat. But it is perhaps worse to make that information known, realizing that you will hurt people, husbands, wives, children....

I hope they catch that guy.
