|    Hackers release new Ashley Madison data     |

      XPost: alt.fat-smelly-hippie, alt.rectum.nearly.killed-um, alt.connecticut       XPost: alt.lefthanders       From: lololol@divorces.com              Hackers dropped a second, even larger cache of data from       extramarital dating service Ashley Madison on Thursday,       apparently annoyed by a statement on Wednesday from the       company’s CEO that stopped short of confirming the authenticity       of the initial data release.              The new data, from a group calling itself the Impact Team,       appeared to be bad news for the site’s operators rather than its       users: files were filled with emails from CEO Noel Biderman, as       well as source code for the site and its apps. Impact Team       released a terse statement signed: “Hey Noel, you can admit it’s       real now.”              As security experts, media and the curious were trawling through       the new information, the first political consequences of the       scandal have started to appear: US defense secretary Ash Carter       said the armed forces were looking into the apparent use of       thousands of .mil email addresses to sign up for Ashley Madison.       Adultery in the military is a prosecutable offense, reported The       Hill, which broke the news.              Josh Duggar, an already scandal-ridden reality show performer on       TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting (canceled after family members       accused him of abusing teenaged girls, including his sister),       reportedly had a paid account on the site.              Impact Team statements have focused on the company’s leadership       from the very beginning, referring to the CTO of Ashley       Madison’s owner, Avid Life Media, by his first name, Trevor.       “Well Trevor, welcome to your worst … nightmare,” read the first       statement from the hackers.              Brian Krebs, the security analyst who first reported the hack,       said it had the hallmarks of an inside job. “Early on, when I       broke this story a month ago today, the CEO confirmed that       they’d been hacked and he seemed pretty convinced it was       somebody who had legitimate access to their network at some       point and they had strong suspicions about who that person might       be.”              But if the company had its suspicions, it wasn’t able to act on       them in time. “The attackers had everything – not just the       internal database but reams of corporate documents,” Krebs said.              http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/aug/20/hackers-new-       ashley-madison-data                             --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
