   Hackers who stole millions of customer records from affair-   
   inciting site Ashley Madison have posted the data online.   
      
   It comes almost exactly a month after hackers, dubbed Impact   
   Team, claimed to have breached the company's systems, pilfering   
   as many as 37 million customer records. They then threatened to   
   release the files online.   
      
   The Toronto, Canada-based Avid Life Media, which owns the   
   website, admitted the following day its systems had been   
   breached.   
      
   Hackers who stole millions of customer records from affair-   
   inciting site Ashley Madison have posted the data online.   
      
   It comes almost exactly a month after hackers, dubbed Impact   
   Team, claimed to have breached the company's systems, pilfering   
   as many as 37 million customer records. They then threatened to   
   release the files online.   
      
   The Toronto, Canada-based Avid Life Media, which owns the   
   website, admitted the following day its systems had been   
   breached.   
      
   Just shy of 10 gigabytes of data were published late Tuesday to   
   a dark web server -- inaccessible through ordinary browsers.   
      
   Wired was first to report the news Tuesday.   
      
   In a brief statement on the page, the hackers wrote: "Find   
   yourself in here? It was [Avid Life Media] that failed you and   
   lied to you. Prosecute them and claim damages. Then move on with   
   your life. Learn your lesson and make amends. Embarrassing now,   
   but you'll get over it."   
      
   We're still sifting through some of the files, which can't be   
   independently verified at this point.   
      
   "Ashley Madison data is almost certainly legit... too many   
   things that simply couldn't have been faked or would have been   
   enormous effort," said security expert Troy Hunt on Twitter   
   earlier.   
      
   Based on a brief analysis of some of the data, it appears credit   
   card data and payment transactions, usernames, email addresses,   
   and other documents are in the downloadable cache.   
      
   Not all of the data can be considered accurate: users who signed   
   up to the site did not have to verify their email addresses,   
   suggesting some data may be inaccurate. Other information cannot   
   be confirmed, and some users have noted that portions of data   
   may have been falsified.   
      
   Avid Life Media called the event an "act of criminality" in a   
   statement.   
      
   "We are continuing to fully cooperate with law enforcement to   
   seek to hold the guilty parties accountable to the strictest   
   measures of the law," the statement added.
