“Do you mean to tell me that the owners of the adultery web site can’t be trusted?”
I had to chuckle at this one. Way to put it all in perspective, STA.

A lot of people had multiple accounts as well.
I downloaded the data and have sifted through it.
Found 4 people I know so far and a bunch of neighbors who paid big money on the site.

It takes a special kind of stupid to have gotten involved with this website in the first place.

Exactly! I know a woman that many men state has a “sexy, sultry voice”. They imagine her to be young, thin, buxom, blonde.. you get the point. Reality is she is in her mid 50’s and about 300+ pounds.. a nice lady but certainly not the “imagined” one.

From where did you download the data?

Ashley Madison has paid people to write profiles, and theyve allowed fake profiles to proliferate on their site, said David Evans, an industry consultant ... Sounds like the boys in Democrat War Rooms....

From Married With Children.
(Butter is Al Bundy’s huge mother in law)
Griff hands the card to Bob Rooney, but Ike grabs it from him. All of the guys rush excitedly over to the phone. Ike starts dialling.
AL Hey, Ike, Ike Ike! Don’t be selfish, put it on the speaker phone.
Ike does so. The phone rings, then a sexy voice answers.
BUTTER Hello, you’re cooking with Butter.
The guys hoot and holler.
IKE Hey Butter, this is... Hot Pants.
BUTTER Ehhh, Hot Pants, why don’t you come closer and melt little ol’ Butter?
IKE Ohh, ho-hold on, I-I-I gotta think about baseball.
AL Hey, hey, Butter, this is uh, this is Double O Shoe. Listen, forget Hot Pants, you gotta talk to my good friend...
BOB Butcher Boy!
DAN Psycho Cop!
AL Not you, you potbellied porkers.
Al picks up the receiver and gives it to the reluctant Griff.
GRIFF Hiya Butter. This is, umm... Shoehorn O’Plenty.

Personally I have never known a guy who cheated on his wife where his wife was not more attractive than the other woman.
So yeah, they probably had to fake it.
To: G Larry
John McAfee makes a pretty compelling case this was an inside job and that the database was STOLEN, which is much different than a hack. How is data taken in a hack not stolen? One is basically an inside job, the other a burglary. Both are crimes of theft.

From where did you download the data? How about some accurate data from Gizmodo:
Based on the field "mail_last_time". If it was blank, the user never checked his or her mail.
Only 1,492 women ever checked their Ashley Madison mailboxes!
This graph is based on "chat_last_time". As before, if it was blank, he or she never used the chat system.
Only 2,409 women ever used the Ashley Madison chat system to text to anyone.

I find it reassuring that most women weren’t participating in this activity.

Your reply reminds me of the 900 numbers from the 80’s.
Sexy voices on the phone, meet in person could be godzilla in drag.

My point is that this was an inside job, with unfettered access to all of the data.
A hack is done from the outside, by backtracking via limited access.
Calling it a hack is wrong.

I find it reassuring that most women werent participating in this activity. Neither were "most" men, or even many, and only a minority of all married men.
