Looking to cheat on your wife? If so, you probably have heard of Ashley Madison.
Ashley Madison is a social network for people in relationship who want to have an affair. Unfortunately, the site was hacked by a group calling themselves the Impact Team. What was compromised seems to be user databases, financial records and other proprietary information.
“Avid Life Media has been instructed to take Ashley Madison and Established Men offline permanently in all forms, or we will release all customer records, including profiles with all the customers’ secret sexual fantasies and matching credit card transactions, real names and addresses, and employee documents and emails. The other websites may stay online.”
The parent company (Avid Life Media ) believes that the hack was the result of a former employee. ALM CEO Noel Biderman said: “We’re on the doorstep of [confirming] who we believe is the culprit, and unfortunately that may have triggered this mass publication. I’ve got their profile right in front of me, all their work credentials. It was definitely a person here that was not an employee but certainly had touched our technical services.“
