Ashley Madison Hack Update: New Cheating Website Takes Advantage of Recent Security Breach

A new cheating website is taking advantage of the recent security breach at the Canadian-based online service, AshleyMadison.com. The site encourages married or committed people to have an affair or a brief fling if they are not happy.

The website Cheating4Me.com, whose motto is "It's not cheating unless you get caught," has created a billboard that says, "We can keep a secret." The remark is most likely referring to the Ashley Madison hack that occurred in July.

AshleyMadison.com was hacked by a group called the Impact Team in mid-July. The hackers reportedly stole personal information on 37 million users and threatened to release the data if the website was not taken down immediately. Avid Life Media, which owns the website, has stated that all information has been secured. They are currently working with law enforcement to find out who is responsible for the hack.

So far, the Impact Team has supposedly released the information on 2,500 users. The website was quick to take down the links. The representatives from Avid Life Media stated that only two names got out. Information can include names, credit card numbers and personal fantasies.

Since the hack, there have been a lot of links claiming to lead to users' information. These links, however, have mainly been spam. There have been no new data released, leading many to believe that the threat of exposure can be over.

The Cheating4Me.com billboard is located Sandton, South Africa. Cheating4me.com was launched this year and "serves frustrated married and single individuals in many countries."
