Security researchers MacKeeper is reporting that 64% of private photos on Ashley Madison was accessible to the public if they know how.
Ashley Madison, the online cheating site that was hacked two years ago, is still exposing its users' data. This time, it is because of poor technical and logical implementations.
As a result, approximately 64% of Ashley Madison (AM) private, often explicit, pictures are accessible. This access can often lead to trivial deanonymization of users who had an assumption of privacy and opens new avenues for blackmail, especially when combined with last year's leak of names and addresses.
It takes a little effort but as long as you know how, anyone can access private photos. As always MacKeeper has a detailed breakdown.
