Ashley Madison, the website for married people to have discreet affairs, seems to be drifting deeper into all sorts of problems, including legal, with every passing day. Impact team, the group that claims to have hacked the site gaining access to millions of its worldwide member's very personal data, released a file that had the subscribers' information.

As expected, revealing the member's information already started to show its impact with Josh Duggar, the famous reality TV Star admitting that he did subscribe to this "have an Affair," website.

Josh married to Anna in 2008; the couple has four kids now. The news of his membership to the website has left his family in a state of dismay, shock, and heartbroken leaving Josh with lot of explanation to do to his wife, parents, and to the society.

Appearing on TLC's show "19 kids and counting," Josh publicly apologized to his family and called himself "The biggest hypocrite ever," as someone claiming to fight immorality in the country, he was addicted to pornography and resorted to infidelity. These revelations appeared on the family's website and also reported by Buzzfeed, have forced Discovery networks to cancel the show, as more news and incidents of his sexual abuse started surfacing.

Further apologizing for his in excusable behavior, he has also decided to quit his job as a member of the family research council at the Christian lobbying Group.

While Avid life media calls these leaks, "an act of criminality, and a violation of privacy against free thinking people involved in lawful activities."

Surprisingly, the leaks also revealed that many of the government workers, including armed force personnel, have subscribed to the website. This has prompted defense secretary to release a statement that they will conduct investigations to find out the truth behind personnel using the site for extra marital affairs using emails with.mil, .gov domain. Military prohibits such online misconducts and extra marital affairs, as proper behavior is necessary for all service members. Thus, making the issue even more sensitivity and serious.
