What is your opinion on the "Ashley Madison Hack"?

The hackers are at fault. The website is negligent. The users of the Ashley Madison service are 100% victims.

All the "holier than thou" moral police who think these people deserved their fate are disgusting people. Mind your own business and realize that people were victims of a crime. Last I checked, infidelity wasn't a crime, while hacking and stealing sensitive information most certainly is.

So do you believe no one should face negative consequences for their actions?

I've been through this already. People should absolutely face consequences for their actions.  If they've done anything wrong.  It's not up to you, me, or the hackers to determine that and hand out punishment.  Period. I'm sure every single person on the internet (and here in this thread) has a super squeaky clean record in every aspect of their lives, right?  Perfect individuals sitting behind their keyboards doling out their ideas of morality as if it's the final word.  Wasn't it stated in some old book something about "He who is without sin..."?

And let's not forget that not everyone who had an account on that site actually did anything wrong...
