Truly an excellent post.

Then she should call the police.

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

These days, you got to figure anything you do on the web is being observed by someone else on the web - ESPECIALLY if your email and credit card involved.

The hack didn't uncover anything a curious spouse couldn't find out.

You could say we should hold the site to higher standards, but I thinks it's obvious in several ways they don't really have any.

This ^^
If someone is being abused they should go to the police and press charges against the person who is oppressing them, rather than spending money so they can cheat. That is simply ludicrous to believe that someone fearing for their life should cheat. They should remove themselves from that unhealthy environment and seek assistance from those who would offer a lending hand. People are often supportive of those who are in need of help.

Also if people are unhappy with the marriage they are in, rather than being dishonest and leading many people astray, there is such a thing called a divorce. That way they do not have to take part in financing a company that prides itself in making money from dishonest people, despite the fact that the CEO of said website would not want to discover his wife as a member of said website.

Actually, it was with her own money.  Her mother passed away last year so she inherited her mother's house then later sold it this year.  So the house and money earned was under her name, and she had every legal right to do as she pleased. And what pleased her pleased me.  Her choice which I most appreciated.  Relating to the topic, the choices and actions we take have an effect.  Go figure.

Yes like hacking into a website and illegally stealing private information and then revealing said information without consent should get you charged and thrown in prison. Go figure. 

Aye. To me, the morality of their actions and their presence on that site should be irrelevant; the focus ought to be entirely on whomever it was that took it upon themselves to steal and reveal the private information of others.

Yes, that is the logical action in a make-belief, perfect world where a person who has been beaten and abused for several years can think rationally and trust authorities. But in the world we live in, humans rarely make the logical decision since they are, you know human. But I would never blame them for it, rather try to understand it.

And this is where the problem lies with this whole situation, in empathy. If we cast aside discussions about morality (which is a very relative subject) and legality (which is always hard to a specific case like this), the question about empathy remains and if these hackers even cared about what life situations these supposed cheaters (we actually don´t know how many cheated, and how many just talked with other people) was in and how their actions would affect them. It is also a matter how we as observers react; are we showing empathy towards the hackers or the cheaters (or the cheaters spouses)? I think therein lies the dividing line between a lot of people in this thread.

You should have stopped typing after "Yes, that is the logical action".
