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.

If it wasn't mentioned already to you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adultery#Adultery_and_the_law it is a crime in many places. a lot of US states have it criminalized and also in loads of other countries it can be cited as reasons for divorce often favouring the "cheated on" partner in terms of possession of the assets/kids.

Adultery isn't fine because a site selling it said it's fine to do, that's bad logic.

I live in Canada.  I don't care about the 21 states that decided it was illegal.  And I never said adultery was fine. All I'm saying is that hackers and social justice warriors on the internet have no right to decide what is and isn't fine and enact some punishment.
