In the meantime, the Ashley Madison hack has been spreading further and further. The situation is getting quite bad in some parts of the world, as just recently it’s been announced that two people have taken their own lives as a result of being “featured” in the leak.
Various government officials have been in trouble as well, and the list is probably going to keep growing and growing for quite some time. People are definitely very excited to see the full picture.
Some have taken this even further, releasing tools that can easily filter the accounts in the list to a specific region, allowing people to post messages on Facebook with a full list of alleged cheaters in their local communities.
There has been some stark opposition to the situation too, with many people claiming that this is not ethical or moral, despite the fact that it targets a website that doesn’t exactly pride itself on its morals in the first place. The Ashley Madison hack is one of the more serious security breaches in the IT industry lately, and it’s been very prominent on the news for this reason. And if we remove the nature of the website itself from the equation, it just turns out that people are cheering for a group of hackers stealing private information.
