the article doesn't mention that you have to confirm your email is valid by clicking a link before you get registered so incriminating strangers this way should be impossible. I presume he validated the email himself
- jonquark 11y agoI have no personal experience of AM - but everything I have read about it says that they did not require email validation of this sort.

On what basis do you claim otherwise? > It’s important to note that Ashley Madison’s sign-up process does not require verification of an email address to set up an account, so legitimate addresses might have been hijacked and used by some members of the site. One email in the data dump, for example, appears to belong to former UK Prime Minister (Tony Blair). -- http://www.wired.com/2015/08/happened-hackers-posted-stolen-ashley-madison-data/ http://www.wired.com/2015/08/happened-hackers-posted-stolen-...

- justinhj 11y agoyes i was surprised to find out this was the case. I actually didn't think I'd posted this comment, as I went to AM and tried it out with a dummy account. must have hit the post button by mistake.
