YES GOOD.

...NO BAD.

......YES, BETTER.

The above is my complex and highly evolved opinion of this situation in its absolute essence.

as much as I know it's wrong to expose financial information like that about someone, it is private stuff that I don't think should ever be "leaked"....

I fucking hate cheaters, like really really hate cheaters, especially if you're married, it's fucking horrifically selfish and I hate that people get used and hurt from such shitty bullshit decisions.

there aren't really any good guys here...but fuck that website, I feel really sorry for all those spouses of those users, they deserve so much better.

I just wonder why the info hasn't been leaked already, if you cheat this is what happens. This is nothing but karma and I'm happy.

They're threatening to leak the information if the site doesn't shut down.

No hacking is not right or legal, and no exposing peoples private information is not right either. And you have no clue what their arrangement at home was, people would just get publicly shamed for being on the site no matter what circumstance. I rather doubt any of you would enjoy public prosecution on account of your dating life, but hey as long as it's not me that is fine...

Never the less if you signed up onto this shady ass site that would in worst cases have career/marriage breaking evidence on you with your real name, then you are a moron and this shit was inevitable.

Eh, it is a big colossal cluster fuck of questionable morality. That being said, I don't feel bad about it, hell, I think it's hilarious. Be as polyamarous as you want but cheating is just a dick move.

I'm also surprised that they got 37 million people to sign up to cheat. I mean I'm sure 98% are middle age male but..

I'm pretty sure I saw someone mention that a massive number of those 37 million accounts are bots. Also, I don't really have much sympathy for the singles going to that website, since they're probably still looking to get into an affair with married people. I mean, why the hell else would you go to a website like that, when there are plenty of dating websites and apps.

This looks to be an example of a two-**** system, first mentioned by Yahtzee, bless him. Couldnt the hackers just release names? I guess that would still potentially cause confusion with shared names.

I don't know. The hackers are the lesser of the evils. And I would like to know that a site like that can be dealt with in its' smug, legal bubble, instead of capitalising off selfish desires. People signing up to that site aren't cheating on a drunken whim, they are actively pursuing and paying for the privelidge. While it is legal, it can be incredibly damaging to the people they are hurting. It's all bad all round all of the time.

I thought Ashley madison was some sort of high school musical star. Haha!

One the one hand, there's cheaters. I can't stand nor understand the desire to cheat. It's an awful feeling on the other side of that. In some cases it's not something easy to get over.

On the other, there's largely a free market, this is their business and if people want to pay for that... well, they can. Plus threatening to expose private information of users because you disagree with the business just isn't cool.

The hackers are wrong. Flat-out, objectively wrong. You don't know the kind of people who are on that website. You don't know why they're cheating. You don't know them and you don't know their partners. You don't have the right to make that decision. If they want to cheat, it's their relationship. Not yours.
I won't cheat. No particular desire to. That's my decision and I didn't make it with the influence of others.

These people on this site made their own decisions too, and that's their business. Sure as hell isn't yours.

Wow, I never knew puritans were so big into hacking. I'm surprised they'd manage to find time in between burning catholics and dying of dysentery.

Claiming that Ashley Madison is responsible for the leak of info if they do not respond to the hackers (illegal) demands while maybe technically true (in the unlikely event that they are honest) it is a crock of shit. If the info gets leaked out it will be the hackers not the site. Cheating hookup sites are not my thing and cheating is about as slimy as you can get while still not being an out and out criminal.

Doxxing millions of people because you are pissed at one website for simply existing? The financial and social consequences of this are just mind boggling. There are no words. If they find these guys they should hack off their hands like in the old days.

Responding to something immoral by committing a far more immoral act. Moronic behaviour.

Uh-huh, "moral high ground", right, sure. Because it's not like with all the info and access they claim to actually have they can't just destroy the site directly which would ruin the company to the point of non-recovery.

Either they're bluffing, they're idiots, or they're going to have a monetary based blackmail down the road. Take your pick but "moral high ground" isn't even close to what they're going for.
