Responsibility And Blame In The Ashley Madison Data Breach

Making good on a threat, a hacker group called Team Impact appears to have released the personal information of 37 million users of the site AshleyMadison.com. The information includes names, user names, addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, and details of credit card transactions as well as sexual preferences. The site is run by Avid Life Media and is marketed for people interested in cheating on their spouses, with the slogan: “Life is short. Have an affair.” Interviewed: Catalina Toma.
