Ashley Madison data posted

Oopsi poopsi...hopefully you didn't accidentally create an account ages and ages ago...lol...why would anybody use their CC info for sites like this is beyond my simple brain to comprehend 
I got dumped to the deep web. Have to wait and see if it actually surfaces in a way that could be checked by most people. It was a phenomenal amount of data. May actually be too much to comb through.
Considering the 189,000 supposed Ottawa clients. I wonder how many political names will come up. Could make for a very interesting election.

Cheating is certainly hurtful and offensive to the cheated on spouse, but cheating in the Western world in 2015 is not criminal. However these "do gooder" hackers are criminals plain and simple.
Further, one wonders if they feel the slightest ownership of the harm likely to result from their data dump.
And no I don't have an Ashley Madison account and don't much care for Ashley Madison.

Damn, there's a torrent for it? 6 gigs of information? Holy shit.
I'm going to have to assume there are pictures and videos as well, because 6gigs+ of just data doesn't sound right.
Saw Boeing, Harvard, UK Govt (tons from there). Wow.

As I read "cheating is certainly hurtful" I thought to myself, -says the guy on escort review board-................and I read on "but cheating ...is not criminal".... trying to feel better about yourself? Justification? LOL
Pretty silly question, I would think if Ashely Madison has over 30 million subscribers they must have had some kind of "security" which would be A LOT stronger than Terb which pales in comparison to Madison.
Apparently it was an inside job. And because it was a great pay site with cc info it would be easy to find real info on people. Here all you need is an anonymous Gmail acct say. Free otherwise.
I'm pretty sure due to our small size and betting the Mods are all pooners they isn't the same axe to grind.
That comment would make a lot more sense if you knew for a fact that this member is not single.
I don't know if TESLA knows this or not but some of the TERB members are actually single and therefore are not cheating on anyone.
Yawns
You guys do realize MAJOR sites like Target and Sony have been hacked and posted before right?
AshleyMadison is small fry
Worst case scenario is a few credit cards get compromised so what
EDIT- and most of the older data is useless, the file starts at 2007, care to bet most of those credit cards are expired by now?

It isn't the actual credit card info....its the name on the credit card. Or the email address. Which can out those who used the site.
As I said before 187,000 users in Ottawa alone. So how many of those are politicians, big bureaucrats, heads of dept? How many Senators?
All could be outed. As well as millions of other people. Still think the press and others won't be combing them if they can to get some people with their virtual pants down?
I haven't seen any reliable info yet, but I would tend to doubt that the data could be tied to an individual just from the name, or even credit card address data. Can't someone buy a disposable credit card, associate whatever name and address they choose, and use it?
I have heard suggestions that at least some email addresses are as bogus as anything - addresses with "a .va" domain for a Canadian client, for example. This would tend to suggest accounts didn't require email address verification either in order to be created.

Due to the nature of the site, it has the prospect of causing more than just financial/security problems for members. This makes it distinct from general banking or retail breaches.
No doubt some of the credit card data is prepaid cards from 7/11 and whatnot, but equally without a doubt most of those cards are valid regular cards, in which case they have full real names and at least partial addresses from the credit card payment data. Yes, somebody who used a prepaid card and an anonymous email can rest easy. I bet most weren't that savvy.
Correct, accounts didn't require email address verification so thousands of email accounts are likely bogus.
Yeah, it's the expectation of privacy thing. For companies like Target, losing credit card information is bad. For Ashley Madison, they're sunk. Their business was discretion, and they failed miserably. I don't see how they can continue.
It's a pretty catastrophic hack, now that the data is out in the wild. Marriages are going to fail, families torn apart. People are going to be jumping off balconies.
