EWN also revealed that within hours of the leak thousands of email addresses from North America and Europe including many linked to corporations and universities sprouted up on other sites as people decrypted the database.

Impact Team, according to Wired.com, stated that: “Avid Life Media has failed to take down Ashley Madison and Established Men. We have explained the fraud, deceit, and stupidity of ALM and their members. Now everyone gets to see their data…. Keep in mind the site is a scam with thousands of fake female profiles. See ashley madison fake profile lawsuit; 90-95% of actual users are male. Chances are your man signed up on the world’s biggest affair site, but never had one. He just tried to. If that distinction matters.”
