   Impact Team, the hacking collective that recently made headlines   
   by absconding with the personal data of some 37 million   
   customers, has made good on previous threats to release the   
   information. On Tuesday, the group dumped 9.7 GB worth of data   
   onto the Dark Web, a semi-anonymized corner of the Internet only   
   accessible using a special Tor browser and Onion router. The   
   data set appears to include account details and log-ins as well   
   as credit card and payment transaction details. The hackers   
   reportedly pulled the data from Ashley Madison's servers despite   
   the company offering a $19 "Full Delete" service that supposedly   
   scrubbed former users' data from the site.   
      
   "Avid Life Media has failed to take down Ashley Madison and   
   Established Men," Impact Team wrote in a statement Tuesday. "We   
   have explained the fraud, deceit, and stupidity of ALM and their   
   members. Now everyone gets to see their data ... Keep in mind   
   the site is a scam with thousands of fake female profiles. See   
   ashley madison fake profile lawsuit; 90-95% of actual users are   
   male. Chances are your man signed up on the world's biggest   
   affair site, but never had one. He just tried to. If that   
   distinction matters."   
      
   The hackers also has some condescending advice to users whose   
   information has been leaked. "Find yourself in here? It was ALM   
   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." See? The   
   Impact Team isn't the bunch of asshats you think they are --   
   cowards who will willingly disrupt the financial and personal   
   lives of 37 million people just to make a point about a website   
   they don't like -- the situation is actually all just one big   
   teachable moment.

   Get over yourselves... 90% of the people on AM were just   
   lurking, trying to bust others, or fake profiles anyway. Expose   
   the 10% of cheating d-bags and leave it at that. Lets not forget   
   that cougarlife got hacked too. And yes, Im a little bummed   
   about that. :D
