OUCH OUCH OUCH

Can imagine a lot of people have some explaining to do.

I can’t understand why people even use sites like that

[ATTACH=CONFIG]154173[/ATTACH]

HACKERS WHO STOLE sensitive customer information from the cheating site AshleyMadison.com appear to have made good on their threat to post the data online.
A data dump, 9.7 gigabytes in size, was posted on Tuesday to the dark web using an Onion address accessible only through the Tor browser. The files appear to include account details and log-ins for some 32 million users of the social networking site, touted as the premier site for married individuals seeking partners for affairs. Seven years worth of credit card and other payment transaction details are also part of the dump, going back to 2007. The data, which amounts to millions of payment transactions, includes names, street address, email address and amount paid, but not credit card numbers; instead it includes four digits for each transaction that may be the last four digits of the credit card or simply a transaction ID unique to each charge. AshleyMadison.com claimed to have nearly 40 million users at the time of the breach about a month ago, all apparently in the market for clandestine hookups.

I couldn’t understand myself why anyone would use it (its not that difficult for a middle class professional married person to start an affair without using an insecure computer system)

What is also interesting is that the hackers didn’t appear to try and blackmail the company for money but are directly attacking it on moral grounds. I wonder if its linked to the issues over gender imbalance in the tech industry? TBH I suspect the hackers involved are female; they could even be nuns and/or Muslim sisters (both are often University educated and very clever with maths and computer science).

I remember in the 1980s a lot of nuns were involved in activism linked to the religious civil war in UK and the wider anti-nuclear/environment protect movement, some even got jail and ended up in the harshest womens prisons like HMP Styal and Holloway. But they never got any trouble there and other inmates liked them as they often taught the younger people to read and write……..

I was thinking that too.

Registering to a site like that is just asking for trouble.

I registered to a dating site once (where I live) and it was crap. (not to be proud of I know)

I’m still a member, because they want money to delete my profile. :you_crazy

I read yesterday about people checking their parents mails in the link I posted above.

Not sure how I feel about that. Of couse it’s okay to be corious about things, but isn’t it overstepping their privacy?

I read about a girl checking her parents (who are happely married) mail on that site. She found her mums mail address. But what can she really use the info for?

Tell her dad?
Confront her mum?

Make sure you check your spam folder…

Why else would they do this???

Ensure highest security is integrated on your information as living depends on it.
