This. Mumsnet will be all over it. It they will probably check out all their facebook friends husbands and partners and then tell them if they are on the list.

Since Mumsnet have recently suffered from just such an attack recently, I would imagine they wouldn't be all that in favour actually.
 
I had never heard of the site till I read about it in the news. I went on it to have a look. Then I told my wife what she would do if I were a paying member of Am. She replied "you'd lose the house". I cringed.
 
Reminds me why I love the freedom and flexibility of not being tied down at this point, so when I am ready I will choose a partner that we have a good understanding and trust each other deeply - Already done a few deceiving bitches, not again!

tHEY DIDNT EXACTLY RELEASE THE INFO FOR the good purpose. They blackmailed AM and told them unless they paid them money within a month then they would release all the data of their customers including the supposedly deleted stuff.

When Am refused to pay, then the hackers released it.

Thats why there is such a long time between the data been hacked and it becoming public knowledge.

I suspect there will be class action suits against AM.

I'm not suggesting what the hackers did was right, just we also need to remember one of the reasons they did it in the first place, the fact that AM lied and committed what is essentially fraud.
 
Still can't believe how many gullible men there are... signing up to that crap !

Probably deserve a slap from their missus for being so stupid
 
I know, but people are stupid.

Personally I prefer knocking off the new barmaid at my local. No one ever finds out about that
 
It seems most of the subscribers signed up for no reason.

Ms Newitz found that fewer than 1,500 women on the site had ever checked messages, compared to the 20 million-plus men. “It was a serious anomaly,” she wrote.

Only 2,400 women ever used the chat tool, as opposed to the 11 million-plus men and only 9,700 of the women had ever replied to a message, compared to the 5.9 million men who would do the same.

Ms Newitz said: “This isn’t a debauched wonderland of men cheating on their wives. It isn’t even a sadscape of 31 million men competing to attract those 5.5 million women in the database. Instead, it’s like a science fictional future where every woman on Earth is dead, and some Dilbert-like engineer has replaced them with badly-designed robots.

It does beg the question. Who the hell were all the men talking too?

My best guess would be bots, and fake profiles.

After all, who's going to promote their successful affair that they've had via AM? What 'successful customer feedback' mechanism did they have? :p

It seems to me like a very well thought up scam, by a very clever man/company, to milk a large amount of money out of a lot of men via small transactions at a time, on the hope that a tiny percentage may be successful in actually contacting a real woman.

Lawsuit protection? It's built-in to their entire premise as an operation!
