The leak of customer data from the extramarital-dating website Ashley Madison has been a nightmare for a lot of people. On Tuesday hackers released nearly 10 gigabytes of user information from a July breach, and revelations are already starting to come from the data.
According to one researcher, who goes by the Twitter handle t0x0pg, the leak contains more than 15,000 US military and governmental email addresses, most of which are military. These figures should be taken with a grain of salt, as Ashley Madison did not verify the email addresses used during sign-up.
But another insight that comes from the data is the differences in user counts between cities. The Dadaviz graphic below shows the 25 cities with the most Ashley Madison accounts. Bear in mind that these numbers don't take population into consideration so while Toronto has a similar number of accounts to Santiago, Chile, it has about half the population.
See the full list below:

I gather Ashley Madison does not yet have a presence in Asia or Africa?

This kind of thing could take you down fast.
Deceptive.
Brooklyn is nyc. Which would make nyc the biggest city.
I read somewhere that to access the Ashley Madison list of users, you have to access the “Dark Web” through a browser called “TOR.” If I read correctly, the “Dark Web” is 80% pedophilia links. I don’t want that shit anywhere near my computer. Does anyone know of another way to access the list of users?
Mess with the bull, get the horns.

Would someone use a regular personal email account for this type of thing?
I signed up for a regular type dating site years ago and created an account at Gmail I haven’t used since other than some yard sale items on Craigs list.
I don’t see what all the commotion is about??
Suburu girls at Sao Paulo International Motor Show.
the other 20% is probably terror wannabes which may be one in the same
Who would list their real name??
If a foreign intelligence agency were to cross-index the Ashley Madison files against the security clearance info obtained via the OPM hack, it might show some blackmail opportunities ...
The data has made thru to the web. Its on some torrent sites. I’ll give you a hint. Arggggh. Oh and it looks like you may need PGP. to decrypt.
Ashley Madison!!?? BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA . . . .
Sounds like a made-up name to me. - Sort of like the girl from Oshkosh whose real name was Edna Frump who moved out to California & changed her name to Gloria Bullington, or some such thing. - /s
The key is not the number of accounts, but rather the number of accounts per capita.
Seems to me our government should do this and then fire all of the people who callously put our national security at risk by joining such a sickening website!
Here’s something to consider though, if the people who hacked the site had an axe to grind slipping in names of people they want to *&^% with would pretty easy as well.
I wonder how many prominent people are going to claim that was the case...
Australia. 23 million people, 465,660 Ashley Madison accounts. 2% of the entire country signed up. Methinks Matilda’s doing a little waltzing between the sheets...
But how many kangaroos are signed up?
