J4MES OX4D 10,035 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 This started out a couple of weeks ago as a data swipe attack on an infidelity-oriented 'dating' website but it's propelled into one of the most infamous and hard-hitting hacks ever that has now been linked to two suicides and the exposure of a 'christian' family man & YouTuber. About 37m account details have been siphoned and the hackers have begun to farm the data out into the public domain in small droves. Divorce proceedings have also begun in some cases and it seems many others are living in fear or on the edge about what will happen next. There doesn't seem to be much sympathy to anyone affected including those who took their own lives. Me personally; I feel people make their own choices and they have to accept the consequences of their actions. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3208907/The-Ashley-Madison-suicide-Texas-police-chief-takes-life-just-days-email-leaked-cheating-website-hack.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3206320/Father-surprised-wife-news-pregnant-announced-suffered-miscarriage-paying-user-Ashley-Madison.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3205657/Wife-starts-Ashley-Madison-divorce-proceedings-husband-outed-member-infidelity-website.html It'll be interesting to see how this saga develops and it's almost unheard of that the public majority side with hackers of this nature but these rare circumstances have brought a sense of 'just deserts' to the table to the affected users...

Sennex 1,903 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 There are a ton of theories on how they did this. The most intriguing one theorizes that Impact Team used a DNS worm to slowly crawl the database. If this is the case, then it would have taken months to get the full 30gb flat file (Compressed). To the point that I honestly think this was partly an inside job. Regardless, searching the Database for friends and relatives was loads of fun. http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2015/08/were_busted_leaked_ashley_madi.html My state of Assabama, leads the country (by a wife margin) on infidelity. Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

DarkArch3typ3 58 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Divorce lawyers are all happy. One lawyer described this as the best thing for his practice since Moses introduced the commandment of adultery.
