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.

Oh right you're just referring to your local laws then and not from a global point of view like this website and it's users, wasn't aware of that.

Regarding your second reply to me... well it's vows you take when getting married not to do that, so... err... the people who made the vows decided it would be immoral to cheat? or are you just talking about what is moral in your country? or... in your house? I'm a little bit lost but don't care for directions if I'm honest.

If you follow the various laws of the various states, provinces, and countries, you will find a lot of fucked up achaic shit that isn't often enforced.  But let's just say that these 21 states DO enforce that law.  Then it's the job of the authorities to either do that, or ignore it accordingly. 

You're not really getting my point anyways.  Let's back away from the actual morality of cheating.  I personally thing it's wrong to cheat on your loved one.  You'll get no argument from me there. But my point is that an outside random entity of unknown ethics on the internet being judge, jurer, and executioner is absolutely a bad thing.  There are a lot of things that are perfectly harmless that can be seen as being immoral to any number of groups. Any number of private things that you or I do on a regular basis could become the target of some attack, just because these people with hacking skills don't like it.  That's my problem with this whole situation.
