[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;48492902]More the reason to help leak the details. Cheaters make me ill[/QUOTE] Not any reason good reason to leak details. Just because you don't like it or find it ethically wrong does not mean consumer info should get leaked. Ashley Madison is a company, as a result they need to secure consumer info because you know it is ethically and legally wrong for companies not to do so. Its what business needs to do. Cheating should be an issue between the couples/parties involved - there is no way people who use and abuse the info in the leak can justify their actions.

Can't stand people who cheat on their SOs, especially if their SO is in the military and deployed.

You're implying that the people with the emails actually participated in affairs, as the article states you can register on the site but never complete a profile or actually pay for services. It does not really matter, we don't need social justice warriors gathering a lynch mob to get the cheaters nor do we need individuals to abuse personal information. It isn't our place to do so, if they get caught they deal with the consequences of that action. Now you're getting into the dilemma of if someone participates a moral/ethical questionable activities that somehow makes it ok for another illegal/unethical/moral questionably activity to happen to them. Aka two wrongs don't make a right.

[QUOTE=AntonioR;48494182]Oh boy, I think you over-analyzed his post.[/QUOTE] I'm not over-analyzing anything. People generally say leaked consumer info is a bad thing, but for some reason this situation is deemed ok. I'm simply challenging that.

These are risks you take whenever you sign up for [i]anything[/i] on the Internet, you have to be prepared for it. I don't feel bad because they got caught doing something morally reprehensible, but they don't deserve to have their private details like their credit cards leaked. Nobody does. Also, if someone signs up with your email, you should get an email from it, with what I would assume would have some way to deactivate the account if you didn't sign up for it or at least expunge your email from it.

Also, what if I do believe that two wrongs make a right if a situation cannot be righted without the use of some "ethical violation" and that justice only exists for the innocent? [editline]19th August 2015[/editline] Because I'm unapologetically a-okay with the leak and every single consequence that it has wrought.
