   (Reuters) - Hackers claim to have personal details of more than   
   37 million cheating spouses on dating website Ashley Madison and   
   have threatened to release nude photos and sexual fantasies of   
   the site's clients unless it is shut down, blog KrebsOnSecurity   
   reported.   
      
   Ashley Madison's Canadian parent, Avid Life Media, confirmed the   
   breach on its systems and said it had since secured its site and   
   was working with law enforcement agencies to try to trace those   
   behind the attack.   
      
   The hackers, who call themselves The Impact Team, leaked   
   snippets of the compromised data online and warned they would   
   release customers' real names, profiles, nude photos, credit   
   card details and "secret sexual fantasies" unless their demands   
   were met, Krebs said. (bit.ly/1fWNcar)   
      
   Avid Life did not disclose what information was stolen.   
      
   The hackers demanded the closure of another of Avid Life Media's   
   sites, sugar-daddy site "Established Men", but did not target   
   the company's "CougarLife" site, which caters for women members   
   looking for "a young stud".   
      
   Ashley Madison, which uses the slogan "Life is short. Have an   
   affair", has been planning to raise up to $200 million through   
   an initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange.   
      
   "We apologize for this unprovoked and criminal intrusion into   
   our customers' information," Avid Life said, adding that the   
   hackers left behind posts and images on the website detailing   
   their demands. The unauthorised posts have since been removed.   
      
   The breach comes about two months after dating site Adult   
   FriendFinder was compromised. That site has an estimated 64   
   million members.   
      
   The Impact Team, in a screengrab showing on the Krebs blog, say   
   it had taken over Avid Media systems including customer   
   databases, source code, financial records and emails.   
      
   "Shutting down AM (Ashley Madison) and EM (Established Men) will   
   cost you, but non-compliance will cost you more," the hackers   
   said.   
      
   They said users who had paid a fee to Avid Life to have their   
   personal data permanently deleted had been lied to and the   
   company had retained records, including credit card information.
