OT: Ashley Madison hack is filled with .edu addresses
The Ashley Madison hack is the gift that keeps on giving (unless you were a member). Turns out there are a lot of .edu emails addresses registered on the site. This site ranked the top 10 .edu addresses.
There you go, Dantonio, you finally got that #1 ranking. #SpartansWill cheat.

Apparently somebody tried logging into my Facebook account from a New Zealand IP address the other night. I'm sure that the three corp CC's that have been compromised in the past 3-4yrs have been used illicitly somehow. And I'm sure that Ashley Madison or Adult Friend Finder or Planned Parenthood or the Southern Poverty Law Center have potential hacker foes that might like to expose their membership information as well as a form of blackmail.

given the size of the school. The big Public Universities are kind of a given. Also, no SEC (do they not know that you can cheat on your spouse via a few clicks)?

Did Jerry Sandusky have an account? I see Penn State is high on the rankings, thought maybe JoePa and him may have been part of this.

Too soon, always and forever, too soon.

got a chance to read this thread. There is a lot of moral outrage here- clearly all of those people are Mother Theresas.
If your spouse/friend/coworker/child got hammered then drove their car into a pole and died would you say well they deserved it? what if they just go arrested for DUI? They made a very stupied decision knowing the consequences just like people signing up for Ashley Madison should have known the consequences.

No one can judge anyone on anything because "Hey, we're all sinners". Sophistry at it's finest.
We are indeed all flawed beings, but those flaws manifest themselves in different ways and at different gradations. For example, one's flaw might be that they are an natural born asshole. That is they are rude and overly aggressive in their dealings with other people. But that isn't the same as violating the trust of supposedly your best friend in the world in spouse. That in my opinion is inexcusable. If you feel that you no longer can remain faithful then divorce her. The very last thing you sholdl ever do is to emotionally or physically harm your wife. You should rather die than do that. Too many men fall far short of that.
I say this without any pretension to moral superiority. This is how I was raised. It's a core belief of mine. My grandfather, father, and uncles all had lengthy marriages. One cheated(and he also betrayed my grandfather. An unforgivable sin.) I was raised in a family that honors loyatly and family. That my grandfather was also a Marine just enforces it.
Semper Fidelis should be more than the slogan of the Marines. It should be emblazoned on wedding rings all throughout the country.

all sinners for sure...but I'm not saying people shouldn't have views on right and wrong and be able to express those views. But I do have a pet peeve with people who are very self righteous, and in some cases take enjoyment from seeing people (like tose outed on Ashley Madison) put in their place for a (perceived) moral failing.
I don't sense this attitude in your post-just a strongly held believe that infidelity is absolutely wrong. I respect that.

At a fomer company one of the engineers didn't log out or lock his system one night. A bunch of his "friends" decided to play a joke and found a dating site for soon to be released female convicts and signed him up. Wrote a real nice profile about a lonely guy that made a lot of money, owned his own house in Ca, had a lot of savings etc. Posted his photo the whole nine yards using his company email address. The poor guy comes into work to find he has a couple of hundred responses, complete with photos, many very very NSFW. Hilarious until the corporate networking folks showed up, hauled off his system, and tried to get him fired for cause. Fortunately for him he was able to prove he was not in the building nor had access to that system when the deed was done. None of the jokers stepped up and took responsibility, but it was one heck of an object lesson.
I was dating a woman in a long distance relationship. For convenience she had my work contact info as well as my personal. At one point I and a bunch of coworkers traveled to her city and she joined a bunch of us for dinner. In organizing that her email ended up in an email list with the rest of us. One day she calls me furious that I was sending her porn. One of my coworkers had picked up a virus and porn was sent to every email address in his address book, using other addresses from his address book as the sender.
This whole episode is going to hurt a lot of people. Some may deserve some misery many will not.

In 2006 the day before Thankgiving my beloved wife of 27 years fell in the street walking her dog. For reasons that no one has been able to determine she failed to raise her hand to protect her head and her head hit the pavement first. The EMT driving home saw her in the street and reached her in the few remaining seconds before her brain swelled and pressed on her lower brain and left her brain dead in 90 seconds. He held her as she died trying to tell him that she dropped the leash. At least she didn't die alone. I have no words to tell you what it's like not to have been with her.
Yeah it's the internet. You can say whatever the fuck you want. You are an asshole, a punk and a juvenile. I spent 27 years with her and I loved her more the day she died than the day I married her. If I thought for a moment you had any chance of being salvaged to become a worthwhile human being I'd make the effort. You are not. Of course I could be wrong. Go off somewhere and spend sometime considering that despite internet anonymity maybe saying "I'm sorry" has merit. Prove me wrong. Prove to me and so many here your not some jerk punk asshole. Or not I guess.

I'm willing to bet that ALM made a conscious decision NOT to do email verification for the very simple reason that it created an electronic trail back to the site's users. If you're going to be a duplicitous piece of shit by cheating on your spouse with the aid of a website created for that very purpose, you're probably trying to minimize any and all means of traceability and maximizing plausible deniability. As soon as you raise your hand (electronically) to say, "Yep, it's me!" that goes out the window.
ALM probably recognized that circumstance and believed they were enhancing the "cloak of secrecy" for their users.
What a tangled web we weave....
