Ashley Madison Hack - Infidelity website Ashley Madison was hacked earlier this week, and the hackers are threatening the release of 37M users' personal info.

The Ashley Madison hack involves the release of "secret sexual fantasies," and according to the hackers, the info of the users will only stay private unless the controversial dating site shuts down entirely.

The hackers' letter which they released before announcing the Ashley Madison hack, said they would release the identities of all of the site's 37 million users unless Avid Life Media, its parent company, shuts the site down entirely.

"Avid Life Media has been instructed to take Ashley Madison and Established Men offline permanently in all forms, or we will release all customer records, including profiles with all the customers' secret sexual fantasies and matching credit card transactions, real names and addresses, and employee documents and emails," the letter reads.

Encouraging the infidelity of couples, the tagline of Ashley Madison is "Life Is Short. Have An Affair." Having such a tagline, one would expect the company to have the reputation of keeping the identity of their users private. However, after the massive security breach took place, that reputation is now being questioned.

So far, the latest update into the Ashley Madison hack is the availability of only two users' names, despite hackers threatening to link a list of 2,500 hacked names.

The identity of one user was reported to be from Mississauga. The hackers, who call themselves "The Impact Team," released the name, home address and profile of the man. The other user was of a man who is in Brockton, Massachusetts.

According to the hackers, the Mississauga man justrecently paid Ashley Madison their "full delete" fee to have his personal info removed entirely from the site, according to CP24.

Avid Life Media released a statement on July 20 saying that the "full delete" fee "will remove all information related to a member's profile and communications activity." Earlier, Avid Life has also said that it already wiped all references to their users' personal information from the Internet.

Meanwhile, another Ashley Madison hack update is that some people are writing anonymously-written articles saying their names will appear on the Ashley Madison leaked names list, according to The Inquisitr.

One article, titled "My husband isn't on the leaked Ashley Madison user list. But I am," is already making its rounds. The article reads of the wife detailing how a dark period during her marriage drove her to sign up for Ashley Madison. The wife did not user her real name, but she said that she used her real email address on the website.

"I'm not stupid. I signed up to the site under a false name. However the site requires verification using a real email address. I was feeling so sad and desperate that I verified it and started talking to three men over the course of two nights," the article read.
