Ashley Madison has been in the news recently because of all the data that was hacked from it. The e-mail accounts of 36 million people, who are using the website had been released and that has frightened a lot of people. It includes prominent Judges, for example, in America as well as partners at various law firms and of course some people will say that their account was put up by somebody else fraudulently and others are going to say that they were just looking, but it will nevertheless be somewhat embarrassing.
One assumes that the owners of the site will get sued for more than a few divorces that will probably now take place as a result. Interestingly enough, another court case in Canada alleges that most of the female profiles are in any event fake. A lady alleges that she was hired by the site to write Portuguese language profiles for the Brazilian version of the site and that her job was to create more than 1 000 fake female profiles in a three week period – in other words just invent fake profiles of non-existent Brazilian ladies so it looked like there were more on the site than there were. This was obviously to make potential male members think that there were many more women on this site ready to cheat than there actually were. The court case alleges that the “purpose of these profiles is to entice paying heterosexual male members to join and spend money on the website”.
There is a site where you can check to see if any e-mail addresses that you know have been used on Ashley Madison and you can find it here: http://www.trustify.info/check Even more embarrassing for all those listed, the data leaked includes all the sexual interests they have listed that they are interested in.

The best predictor of future behaviour is relevant past behaviour. If a spouse jumps the fence chances are good they would do it again. They have turned their marriages and the lives of their children, those who have children, upside down. They have fractured their family unit. A marriage that has infidelity has no foundation. Without a foundation everything crumbles

O.M.W cheating is very expensive and the sad part now is they are going through divorces and losing families because of the fake something that they don't even have.

I agree with Juliet as well as Nicolle to a certain degree... Perhaps some guy who is now divorced might go after Ashley Madison because what does he have to lose? And Juliet is absolutely right - fake email addresses are used and hopefully no distinctive pictures. Good luck those!!

Obviously the really clever guys created Fake email addresses which they used to join the website so they will never be caught in any event
So if there were so many fake profiles, who did the men cheat with? Did they just chat online and never meet?

Funny how the website isn't adding fake Brazilian men to entice woman to join the website. Just goes to show that men are more likely to cheat than woman. I read an article about cheating and the stats show that when woman cheat they are more than likely to leave their partner because they cheat for emotional reasons.
My theory has and always will be don't get married if you are going to cheat, or rather get divorced if you want to cheat. Easier said than done I guess, cheating has become a way of life and has become the rule and not the exception.
Sigh, no sympathy here though.

Genius! They managed to sucker a couple million guys into paying a boatload of money to have affairs with women who were nothing more than sockpuppets.
However, the true genius of the scam is that, once a man got wise to what Ashley Madison was doing, they had no recourse. A vast majority were married men looking to have affairs. No man would risk public exposure by trying to go after the site for scamming them. It's the online dating equivalent of robbing a drug dealer.

the old story remains the same: if you look for trouble, you'll find it quickly.
hysterical that so many well to do, and respected people, have been found to be hypocrites and liars.
