Posted July 21, 2015 Can't say I'm all that concerned about a bunch of cheating low-lifes having their private data stolen. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2015 Cheating or not, having your name associated with these websites is frowned upon by portions of our society and jobs could be in jeopardy. Just because the hackers' made 'righteous' demands (shut down or else) does not make them right. Who knows? Perhaps they're working for the competition? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2015 Who knows? Perhaps they're working for the competition? Seriously, Occam's razor would point to this as the most likely use of any hacked data. If you are one or two hackers, and have a list of cheater's names, are you going to spend the thousands of man hours blackmailing each one for a thou or two apiece? And how long before you run across an FBI agent who doesn't like what you're doing? Plus, threats to publish names are worthless, because the legal ramifications would stop any legitimate web site from posting them. This leaves the dark web, and even jilted housewive rarely go there. No, it is much more cost effective to strip any high profile names out, and then sell the data to a competitor or back to AM for one big score. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 1, 2015 Just have to laugh: the stupes keep on putting all their information on the internet....does not matter how many big names get hacked (Home Depot, Walmart, Citibank) they just continue to think it will not happen to THEM. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 7, 2015 Have you ever been on Ashley Madison? There are a few people upset about this, and about 30 million fake women very upset that their fake profile data is going to be leaked to their fake husbands, fake children, fake dogs and cats, fake neighbors and fake lovers. For a dollar you can send them a message to see if they got caught and are getting a fake divorce. But it costs another dollar to open their fake reply. Hacking Ashley Madison is like hacking a Sims game and pretending it's real. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 12, 2015 I got one yesterday. Basically it said that they had a list of all my payments, logins and other activity on the site. Said they had prepared a letter with all the details that would be sent to "The XXXXXXX Family" at my address (which they had from the credit card billing). All I have to do to stop the letter is send 2 BTC (about $480) to their Bitcoin address within 48 hours.So, here's my thoughts on this whole thing:1) If you get one and you're worried it won't do any good to pay, and it might just make it worse. Once they realize they have someone willing to pay, they won't go away. They'll either come right back and demand more, they'll come back pretending to be a different entity doing the same thing, or they will swap your info as a "mark" with others who are doing the same thing. Paying won't help. Who knows how many people have copies of the list, trying to stop them all would be the worlds largest game of Whack A Mole.2) They won't send the letter. First, that's a lot of letters and postage expense, especially if they're overseas. Second, printing, stuffing etc thousands of letters is the hard part, trolling for suckers via an automated emailer and watching the Bitcoin balance is the easy part. Third, they know that once they DO send the letter (and presumably your spouse reads it) their leverage is gone forever. If they haven't sent it, they can continue to threaten you.The best part for me? I got to reply to the email with "Fuck off, I'm single" :o) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 26, 2015 I checked my email tonight, I didn't know I even had an account with Ashley Madison. Isn't that amazing. lolThis is another fake profile that was created along with all the many others, and my stuff being hacked. Funny thing is, they sound just like escorts who are extorting johns and providers. This is my second extortion ever [snip] and now this idiot. Who are they going to tell? I don't give 2 rats! Tell on me. I shall never buckle to anyones demands. I live an open life. I don't lie about it. I am self employed though all of my incomes, nothing stoping me. Im living my dreams.....Funny thing is the last person who tried this extortion shit on me FAILED. They will too. Gimmy your best shot! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3ZAGBL6UBA LMAO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*(I REMOVED THE OTHER EMAILS THAT WHERE CC A LONG WITH MINE, so none gets outed.) *I highlighted the best parts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Copy of Email below~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Debora to me, Unfortunately your data was leaked in the recent hacking of Ashley Madisonand I know have your information. I have also used your user profile to findyour Facebook page, using this I can now message all of your friends andfamily members.If you would like to prevent me from sharing this dirt info with all ofyour friends and family members (and perhaps even your employers too?) thenyou need to send 1 bitcoin You may be wondering why should you and what will prevent other people fromdoing the same, in short you now know to change your privacy settings inFacebook so no one can view your friends/family list. So go ahead and updatethat now (I have a copy if you dont pay) to stop any future emails likethis.You can buy bitcoin using online exchanges easily. If the bitcoin is notpaid within 3 days of 25 Sep 2015 then my system will automatically messageall of your friends and family members. The bitcoin address is unique toyou.Consider how expensive a divorce lawyer is. If you are no longer in acommitted relationship then think about how this will affect your socialstanding amongst family and friends. What will your friends and family thinkabout you?Sincerely,Deborah 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
