Ashley Maddison cheaters exposed

Check if your email address was used on the cheating website.

After hackers gained access into the world’s premier online dating or rather cheating website, Ashley Maddison, about 36 million accounts were compromised.

The hackers, who call themselves The Impact Group, released all the data on the Dark Web where people could search email addresses that were on the website.

Many websites created searchable databases for people to go and check if their partner was on Ashley Maddison and if any transactions were made like Trustify and cynical.

The data revealed that there were reportedly a few hundred government officials in South Africa that were active on the site.

South Africa’s most transactions came from Johannesburg, followed by Cape Town.
