List of uiowa.edu email addresses from the Ashley Madison dump

[Hawk-A-Doodle-Doo]

Yes, it appears that they didn't validate the email addresses, so you could sign up with any properly constructed email address under the sun.....though if you don't have access to that email account, you wouldn't be able to recover passwords or use those kinds of features.

Right, of course. You'd have to get the activation code or validation thingy or whatever.

BUT...if you just wanted to eff with someone, you could have signed them up, making it appear as if they had an account, even if they never actually visited the site.

Doodle mentions it because it seems like an angle that many of the prominent folks who get "outed" from this list might try to use, regardless of whether they were in fact the victim of such tomfoolery or were actual paying customers.

You will hear the argument, "if you don't want to get caught, don't do it", but that is really BS. I wouldn't want the world to see me having sex with my wife (tapes have been destroyed, don't even ask), so should I not do that? I certainly don't want to feel like the world is looking over my shoulder every minute of the day, do you?

Pic?

Am I the only one who finds this whole thing disturbing. I think this is a really poor reflection on our society. I think it is absolutely wrong to be posting this stuff. I guess I can understand the curiosity of it all, but there are real people who may have their lives ruined because of this. First of all, even if they were on the website, you don't know that they were cheating on their spouse. Second, it wasn't illegal in any way. Finally, EVERY man in the world has done something he isn't proud of. I have gone to some interesting websites over the years and wouldn't be happy if the whole world knew about it. Would you want the world to have access to your web browsing history? That's where this is leading, it seems.

I think you just have to be smarter and not use an e-mail account that would out you. Why on earth would someone use their professional e-mail account for something like this? I think you are right, but some of that has to fall on the individual. Anymore, I just expect that I could get outed. Its happened to people on here. Im pretty sure about everyone surfs the pron.

Yes, at4Iowa, it is a bit odd to poke fun at cheaters. What is society coming to? By the way, who is that lovely lady in your avatar?

Nice.

 

[hawkfan_03]

See post directly above yours.

Like family like a wife?

Ha, sorry, I missed that. No, not a wife - I'm not into that (chicks) but it is someone I considered a little sister growing up. It's kind of funny. I could see her signing up for this while in college. She wouldn't have had this e-mail after that. I considered sending her a text but I don't think I care enough to make her worry about it.

You know what, Pepperman, you are absolutely correct. Thank you for pointing out my hypocrisy. I'll change my avatar.

 

[longliveCS40]

Well crap. What was his avatar before? I missed it.

 

[at4iowa]

Avatar changed. However, I do feel that there is a difference between cleaning the floors in the Metrodome with your back (public and illegal) and being on a website for who knows what reason (private and not illegal). You are right, though, Lois has suffered enough and it is hypocritical of me to poke fun at her. Again, thanks. Hypocrisy drives me crazy and if I'm caught being hypocritical I don't mind being called out on it.

 

[Pepperman]

I'm just joking with you. I actually agree, it is sick how people are clamoring to find out who's on this Ashley Madison list. Especially since there are varying degrees of what people can even do on that site - some people undoubtedly just browsed it out of curiosity. Others might have created accounts to see what might be available (emotional cheating, I suppose?). And of course we know many people were full hog involved with credit card payments and "affair guarantees", which is embarrassing for them, I'm sure, but let's be honest - these people were going to cheat anyway. Lastly, I'm certain based on the emails listed above a ton of people used fake addresses or used other known addresses to create accounts.

To be curious about who's on the list - I understand it.
To be "excited" about finding ways to search a list - that's a little strange to me.
To lump everybody that might be on that list together - irresponsible.

I found it to be a bit hypocritical of the people outing AM and it's users for being unethical, yet put their CC #'s out there on the dark web. Talk about really messing someone's life up. How do you know some of those users weren't in an open marriage and had agreed to both use it to be as quiet about their lifestyle as they could be.

Anyway...it feels a little odd to play the moral high ground and then try and destroy someones life

Its no so much that they cheat. Its how stupid they would be to use a personal e-mail.

^ This guy got hacked!

Seriously though, as mentioned in other posts, just because somebody is on the site, doesn't mean they were looking to cheat on their spouse or trying to find another person who is looking to cheat. Some people may have had permission from their spouses to seek fantasies the spouse was unwilling to fulfill. Maybe some guy's wife told them she would finally allow another woman to join them in bed and this was one of the avenues travelled to find the third party. Maybe somebody created an account to try to catch a cheating spouse. There are plenty of reasons to be on that site that don't includes cheating on your spouse.

Now, there are over 30 million people out there who have been outed. These people are going to be labeled as "untrustworthy cheaters" whether or not they actually did anything wrong. This hack will certainly ruin a lot of relationships and families. It has the potential to cost some people their jobs and ruin some careers. Good people with solid reputations will face being labeled as Ashley Madison scum.

The victims of the Ashley Madison hack will certainly have my sympathy and I hope the site is held accountable for the breeched security and the hackers are found and brought to justice.

I agree with most of what you said, but I bet the number is closer to 1 million than it is 30. Most of those them will turn out to be fake or the emails won't be traceable to anyone.

Certainly there will be some fake and untracable email accounts, but it can be argued that those who actually had something to hide, were the people who were careful enough to put forth the effort to cover their tracks and give bogus information. If I was a cheater on AM, I imagine I would be much more thorough in covering my tracks than if I was the average Joe killing time on a rainy afternoon.

 

[at4iowa]

Nevermind.

 

[hawkstud44]

LOL

 

[INXS83]

Damn, that's a lot.
I bet most of them aren't even married.

Just like I thought. Mostly a sausage-fest.

Is Ron Mexico on the list?

 

[INXS83]

I see Fred Russell on there. And about 10 women....

Do you think it's ever happened on Ashley Madison where a dude sets up a hook-up and when he meets the mystery-chick it's his mother-in-law. That would be awkward.

Has anyone really thought about a possible different motive for the database release? Like maybe there is a well hidden virus in the torrent file and after you extract the data it releases into you personal system. Let's face it; whomever cracked the AM security is no slouch and could easily take down numerous identities with this simple release.
They would have known that this would be a huge draw and there are many people out there that are just smart enough to get the file but not realize it may be packing more then some personal data.

 

[Chewback]

I would guess the odds at better than 50-50.

 

[dgordo]

The file is on the dark net, are most people sophisticated enough to find it or are they searching the data through a site that took the data off the dark net?
