I don't pity them since they were stupid enough to put there personal info on a website that revolves around cheating and charges you to delete your personal info.

Though I am glad for divorce lawyers. This must be a wet dream for them.

Really? So using an online service and providing your personnal info is "stupid" now?

While I do not support cheating in general they are using a online service (like any other online services out there... I'm sure you are giving your personnal info to Sony or Microsoft while using Xbox Live/PSN or Netflix etc...) and there is nothing wrong into that (or stupid). And the website being about having an affair is in no way a valid reason to have their information being stolen by hackers.

To OP:

Website and hackers are at fault (you miss this one...)
No matter what the website is about, being hacked and having our personal data being accessed from hackers is the only issue here. Those people who used the website to cheat are in no-way responsible for that.

Putting your real personnel information on the internet has been stupid for nearly a decade.
