I've never felt just because it's legal--it's fine. In fact, some of the worst/slimiest people I know make their money in a legal fashion. Some of the best people I know, have broken societal laws. When I heard Ashley Madion was hacked, I knew laws were broken, but I really didn't care. I don't like sites/places that make the spread of disease too easy. Kinda like when they closed/modified the rules to the bath houses. I know we need laws in a civilized society. Did these hackers break the law--yes. Do I care--no! Not in this particular case. What really bothers me is Ashley Madion didn't stand behind their members. Ashley Madison left their database open. I don't know how, but they were hacked. They were given an opportunity to protect the identity of their members, but they didn't agree to the Hacker's demands. I don't know if the Hackers would have kept their word? But if I owned Ashley Madison, I would have shut down the site immediately-- without discussion. I would have figured, I screwed up; I owe it to the people that trusted me to do the right thing. Companies need to protect customers personal information--even if it means shutting down. We all know why they didn't shut the site down. They didn't have a lot of high moral reasons to keep it open. The Hackers had this company completely exposed. Ashley Madison lost the war. The only reason they are still open, and their personal customer data was released is because of one reason--Money! (I don't know how many people this company employed. If it was a large number, that might be valid reason to keep it open? I just doubt they have a lot of employees? They haven't even gone public yet? I heard they were scheduled for a big IPO?)
