For those of you who don't know what Ashley Madison is, it's a Canadian based website for people who are looking for an affair. In other words is facilitates people cheating on their spouse. Well today it was announced that the site's user data has been hacked. So far they've released some credit card numbers, to prove that they have the data, and there may well be a data dump of the user information coming soon.
That's something like 37 million users who almost certainly have something to hide.
The claimed reason for the hack is to prove that the site wasn't actually permanently deleting the data of former users, who paid a fee to have their information scrubbed from the site. I predict a banner year for divorce lawyers.
