   TORONTO - Ashley Madison users “should be living in fear now”   
   that hackers have followed through on a threat to release a huge   
   cache of data, including customer information, that was stolen a   
   month ago.   
      
   Several tech websites reported on Tuesday that the data was   
   posted onto the dark web, meaning it is only accessible using a   
   specialized browser, although lists of e-mail addresses have   
   since sprouted up on other sites.   
      
   London, Ont.-based technology expert Carmi Levy says this is bad   
   news for anyone who had anything resembling a client   
   relationship with the adultery service.   
      
   “While the company’s millions of clients have almost certainly   
   been living on tenterhooks since news of the breach first broke,   
   confirmation that the data has finally been dumped online   
   confirms their worst fears and ratchets up their stress levels   
   to a terrifying — for them, anyway — new level,” explained Levy,   
   a technology analyst and journalist.   
      
   He says it’s “likely only a matter of time” before someone   
   familiar with the dark web publicly re-posts the data.   
      
   It’s the “only way” an average person would see it, he added.   
      
   “Based on past experience with similar large-scale security   
   breaches, it’s likely only a matter of time before that   
   happens,” Levy said.   
      
   A group calling itself Impact Team had leaked snippets of the   
   compromised data in July and threatened to publish names and   
   salacious details about clients unless Ashley Madison and   
   EstablishedMen.com, another site owned by Toronto-based parent   
   company Avid Life Media, were taken down.   
      
   The Toronto Sun spoke with one Mississauga man in July, whose   
   name had been leaked. He said he never cheated but merely looked.   
      
   Tech website Wired said 9.7 gigabytes of data was posted, and   
   appeared to include member account and credit card details.   
      
   “Avid Life Media has failed to take down Ashley Madison and   
   Established Men,” Wired quoted Impact Team as saying in a   
   statement accompanying the online dump.   
      
   “We have explained the fraud, deceit and stupidity of ALM (Avid   
   Life Media) and their members. Now everyone gets to see their   
   data,” the hackers said, according to Wired.   
      
   Avid Life did not immediately respond to e-mails and phone calls   
   seeking comment.

   Whoever used that web site must be sh&tting bricks now. The   
   hackers should know that these people's (cheaters) homes,   
   disfunctional or not, are now going to be destroyed. That means   
   kids are probably going to see a lot of arguments, fights and   
   probably divorce. The way I see it is, if God doesn't judge me   
   until I meet him, who am I to judge people here and now?
