The website owners will have purposely placed the story to drive traffic to the site.
No body will be outed, no details leaked.
hahah you're absolutely nuts.No body will be outed, no details leaked.
the fundamental core of the business is that it's a 'discreet' website, married people could effectively have their lives ruined by a security breach and you're saying the owners deliberately created a story based on this? completely bananas!
not to mention that financial details and other information *has* been leaked...
the site is f
ked.

Not necessarily disagreeing with you on most of that, but the website wouldn't be the cause of lives being ruined... the fundamental core of the business is that it's a 'discreet' website, married people could effectively have their lives ruined by a security breach and you're saying the owners deliberately created a story based on this? completely bananas!

ked. I know of a few people who use such sites regularly. Not sure if this one, but Tue market is huge for married people.
Used to be the husband shagged around in the office and the wife shagged the trades and dads at the school gates.
Times have changed.
From what I hear it's quite big deal over here in France. I imagine a lot of worried people, less the shagging around more about details being released.

The "expose" doesn't quite work. Release credit card details? Names on the card?
To whom? Where? The hackers' website? Release to the BBC/ITV/CNN who are going to do what? Print all 37m names & details? Release on some random page somewhere that within 24hrs will be forgotten/not heard of by anybody who has a normal life, job, jobs, 100 more important daily details things to remember.
And then what? Its very easy to claim your credit card has been hacked, esp in this day and age. And what does it charge? £20/30/40 ? I put damn nr a grand a week on my credit card due to the travelling etc, a random £20 or £30 somewhere would never get noticed, so easy to claim it was hacked and you didn't know.
Mass expose blackmail never works very well. Once you threaten you lose your power because you are subject to the dictum of "publish and be damned" and once the bluff is called the blackmailer/publisher loses all their impact.
Far far far more likely is that this was a targeted hack bought and paid for by a rival website/service that wanted to bugger a competitor before they floated and effectively sealed their market share. The individual details themselves are irrelevant.

It would be easy to release it in a damaging way if they wanted. Its had so much publicity now that it'd spread far and wide. It could be put into a torrent file and there is nothing AM or the people on the lists can do.
Mass blackmail won't work well but picking through the list and targeting individuals definitely would.
There is no way whatsoever this hack was orchestrated by a competitor. They're being damaged just as badly.
