Body count so far: 2.
Speaking directly to the hackers, Superintendent Evans said that Monday’s news conference was “your wake-up call,” and that law enforcement organizations around the world were working together to stop hackers from engaging in “reckless and illegal activity.” The United States Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are involved in the investigation.

“You just got to understand people, the social impact behind this leak,” he said. “We’re talking about families, we’re talking about their children, we’re talking about their wives, we’re talking about their male partners. That’s going to have impacts on their lives, we now have hate crimes that are a result of this.”

HAHAHAHAHAHA. The DHS, the dudes that fail most airport security tests, and the FBI, the dudes that are having trouble finding qualified IT agents, are all over this.

It's also hilarious how this guy seems to be defending the cheaters. Wonder what their spouses think about that.

You're using politeness as an argument? Fucking wow. That notwithstanding, they're trying to even the score for these folks like this...
Well-known conservative personalities were caught in the breach as well. Sam Rader, a religious YouTube user who operates a successful video blog with his wife, Nia, was found to have an account.

“She has forgiven me for this mistake that I made in opening the account,” Mr. Rader said of his wife over the weekend. “I have sought forgiveness from God and he has forgiven me, so I have been completely cleansed of this sin.”

I'm finding it hard to have any sympathy for any registered user on either website.

Still getting new users.
"Despite having our business and customers attacked, we are growing," ALM said in a statement. "This past week alone, hundreds of thousands of new users signed up for the Ashley Madison platform—including 87,596 women."

Which is good given that...
A Gizmodo investigation corroborated that and found that only 12,000 of the 5.5 million female profiles on the adultery site belonged to living, breathing women. About 10,000 accounts were linked to email addresses ending in ashleymadison.com, indicating that site admins actually created them.

... most female profile are faked either by admins or other users.

AM tries badly to refute the suggestion that their site is mainly a bunch of guys.
