Noel Biderman desperately wants to shift the focus to the hackers, because his own culpability has to be downplayed if he is to survive this without jail time.

And there is the heart of the lawsuit, how could information I paid to be completely deleted hacked?

Worse still is that Ashley Madison seemed to do some hacking of their own.

Hacked online cheating service AshleyMadison.com is portraying itself as a victim of malicious cybercriminals, but leaked emails from the company?s CEO suggests that AshleyMadison?s top leadership hacked into a competing dating service in 2012.

OK. That needed clarification. Personally I could care less the CEO's personal info was revealed. That has no affect on my business -- not really of passing interest

What I am concerned of, and this might affect our business: Is consumer financial data or credit card account information, e.g.; account numbers, CVV number / Card Security Codes, address of banking data being compromised. I am concerned about our customers' willingness to make purchases ... that matters to me this instant. Also, the government regulations covering breaches of this nature are very costly, here in the USA anyway. As for the emails used: I guess if they didn't use a Gmail or Yahoo email account set up anonymously to 'cheat' on their wife -- oh well ...

It goes without mention that this is bad for customer confidence and adult website credibility and security. That will not be easy to address openly with customers, nor probably a wise thing to do.

As Rick correctly pointed out early in this thread, distrust of adult sites sends people to free porn. Why enter your card number in a pay site when you can keep yourself anonymous on a tube site instead. However that doesn't hold as true for dating. Even free dating sites require your information to be added and by their nature that includes contact info and personal details.

Unless someone offers encrypted dating and the public is willing to play cat and mouse with each potential mate to avoid putting any real details online - the public has a choice to either use dating sites or not... Because a site without their card number is just as revealing as one that has it if it gets hacked. People aren't freaking out that their card may be compromised, they are rightly worried their intimate details might be available to the public. Billing security actually has very little to do with this equation.

It couldn't have helped. If the extortionist hackers were after AM because they felt they were on a mission against bad guys, every bad guy action made AM more likely to be a target.
