For a website like AshleyMadison.com that prides itself on secrecy and anonymity, a breach like this can be catastrophic. The site’s subscribers pay to have access to other married people looking to have affairs. They all, presumably, felt that their private information was safe.
“The quick answer is: not that safe,” says Dr. Michael Sulmeyer, the director of the Cyber Security Initiative at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government’s Belfer Center.
He says Ashley Madison’s clients know now the truth of the web: everything is hackable.
“Largely, you should not have an expectation of ultimate security and privacy,” Sulmeyer explains. “And operate with the understanding that things can go wrong despite all promises to the contrary.”
The group believed to be responsible for the hack claims to have stolen private information from all 37 million Ashley Madison users. On Tuesday the personal details of two subscribers leaked. One man is from Canada – the other from Brockton.
What was revealed is intensely personal. Among the data released about the Brockton client of Ashley Madison: His user ID is “Heavy73″; he listed himself as “married/attached”; he joined the site the day after Valentine’s Day, 2014; he likes “cuddling & hugging” and is into “discretion & secrecy”.
Sulmeyer says highly motivated hackers can be determined to get into sites like this, looking for intimate even embarrassing details.
On any such site, he says, users can and should change their passwords often.
“Even with that you should not believe that you have total privacy. And if you are really one who wants total privacy then you should not probably be getting on websites like this,” Sulmeyer says.
The hackers are demanding that the whole website be taken down or else they will release all the names and private data they have.
So, said chickensoup, what is it that the administration does not want us to pay attention to now?
Please, please, please no one with the Rupert Holmes song.
Have mercy!
37 million? Divorce attorneys will be making a killing....
Which is all the more asinine considering -—anyone-— can get laid in 2015 at the drop of a hat with no strings attached or cash exchanged in any town in America.
After I posted I thought of Pina Coladas
So it's all free republics' fault.
"When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."John 8:7. Notice after that he did not condemn her, Christ simply told the woman to go and sin no more. I try not to but hey, we are all human, and yes a few out there won't like this response. So what.
Indeed. How will they handle the massive increase in liberal credibility?
Sure there is. As an example to others.
I told my wife when I married her that I would never cheat on her. She put me thru hell for years, but I never cheated. As to the web? Jeez, everything you do on the web can and often does bite you in the ass.
So you’re all hot and bothered about immoral people wrecking your nice life on earth. And can’t think of a hot enough hell for them.
Do you care about how you have personally spurned God? How God is trying to get you to see what that looks like from his end?
Guess you aren’t taking the example against self righteousness, huh.
Have they released the list yet??? I thought Ashley Madison was a conservative site. How were we to know any different?

Way back, friend remarked he liked that song. I said wait until you see the guy who sings it. He said no way. Few weeks later he said he saw the guy and hated the song now. LOL
He had one song I thought was OK, short time on the radio. I think I liked the beat not the lyrics. “Him”.
God and Jesus encourage proselytizing, but not stalking and beating someone over the head with their bizarre interpretation of the Bible.
Make your point, live the example, and move on.
Guess you are still too stupid to ignore my postings.
I am curious.If you don’t post a photo then no one knows who you are correct?
I suppose its not free so there is CCard info but its all fake names I would assume?
From what Weiner and I suppose a lot more are doing these days I assure there are some people freeking out and thats funny to me
Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me . . .
For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
-— Isaiah 47:8, 10-11
“Holy smokes... 37 MILLION users...?”
