In reply to the discussion: Hackers Dump Ashley Madison's Customer Data (32 Million), Which Spans The Past 7 Years! [View all]Kurska
(5,739 posts)85. All of them?
You don't think anyone might have registered to see if their spouse was on or heard about it and was just curious with no intention of actually cheating? Every single one of the 32 million must have had an affair.
I guess every crusade must have innocent victims.

It's not allowed to use DOTgov servers for 'personal fun' even on breaks or lunch.

They probably didn't realise that about DOTgov servers. The gov employees should know better.

While I don't support the hack, I wouldn't feel bad for somebody if their husband/wife found out

Relationships are complicated. It's not up to you or me to determine what is 'moral' or not.

Hardly. But I don't want anonymous hackers to determine which relationships are permissable, either.

Because of getting caught, or because they chose to engage in an illicit affair?

Isn't it the infidelity that will break up the marriage and not the outing of it?

IMO, it is only the .gov email addresses-connected to fee payment, that will have intense scrutiny.

Asking for what? The results of their actions are their responsibility alone. I care not.
