Ashley Madison data breach/db dump

Tails & Tor

Chain your emails across multiple services; makes forensics more cumbersome. E.g., Burn a Tails bootable CD, take a laptop to a WiFi hotspot and use Tor capable browser. Create fake Outlook.com/Windows Live -> fail-over/password recovery to fake Yahoo -> fail-over/password recovery to fake Gmail. Create a bunch of Gmail "burner" accounts so you're not reusing email addresses for anything.

If you need to host data, have a 24/7/365 presence, or want a VPN access point tunnel for other connections, buy a prepaid credit card with cash from a grocery store then register for an Amazon AWS dedicated server instance.

Hardcore users can build a ProxyGambit device.

Ashley Madison was a bunch of dudes talking to each other, data analysis suggests

...

First, the official numbers. The info that the hackers published contained about 31 million accounts apparently belonging to men, and about 5 million apparently belonging to women.

But when Newitz dug deeper, she found a bunch of test accounts that ended with ashleymadison.com, suggesting that they were created internally (90% of them were for women), as well as 350 female accounts for people with the same and very unusual last name.

Then she found three really damning pieces of data:
  • Only 1,492 of the women in the database had ever opened their inbox to check their messages on the site. That's compared with more than 20 million men.
  • Only 2,409 of the women had ever used the site's chat function, versus more than 11 million men.
  • Only 9,700 of the women had ever responded to a message from another person on the site, versus almost 6 million men. (This number was greater than the number of women who checked messages because it's possible to answer messages in bulk when you first visit the site, without ever opening your inbox.)
It's possible that most of the women signed up but never did anything.

Either way, Newitz writes, Ashley Madison is a site where tens of millions of men write mail, chat, and spend money for women who aren't there."

I like the way you think.

So at the end of the day, it looks like this site was filled with wake profiles. And to think, people threw it all away and got nothing for it.
