TORONTO, July 20, 2015 — The cheating website Ashley Madison\u00a0<\/em> has been hacked. The website claims to have 37 million members and has bragged about its data security in past.<\/p>\n
A hacking group calling itself ‘The Impact Team’ is threatening to expose the identities of the users.<\/p>\n
The personal details of more than 37 million cheating spouses on the website Ashley Madison have been obtained by a hacker group that are threatening to release nude photos and sexual fantasies of the site\u2019s clients unless the cheating website is shut down.<\/p>\n
Hackers were protesting the fact that Ashley Madison refuses to delete user data and accounts when requested, unless users pay what is essentially a blackmail fee of $19. Turns out even when users asked for their data to be deleted, it was never done and their information was still on an online computer.<\/p>\n
The hackers posted a small sample of sensitive data, along with a statement demanding the takedown of Ashley Madison and Established Men, an online dating site that claims to connect “young, beautiful women with successful men”. The data and the statement have since been taken offline.<\/p>\n
