It's pretty arrogant to run known exploitable code on a public facing multi-million dollar operation. Especially with such sensitive information. They pretty much got what they deserved for their arrogance in not getting it fixed. And they knew the hackers were looking too because other dating sites were having issues as well. I'm sure they aren't alone though. If anyone reading this owns such a site and knows they have these issues with their code then they would be well advised to get it fixed pronto and hire a full time security guy or gal pronto.

Plugging holes, especially if they're fundamental flaws in your system, is not a 5 minute job.

In a large codebase with poorly written code it might be almost impossible to completely secure.

Look at the big hacks lately, some very very big companies running extremely complex systems have been compromised.

The real problem I see with this hack from a technical perspective is that it reveals that this company was more interested in bleeding it's user base of cash than anything else. In this scenario, they really didn't care much about security - despite public comments otherwise.

I must be very novice when it comes to downloading "questionable" non paid for material because for the life of me, I can't find the source code anywhere when I search on Google :Oh crap. Used "Ashley Madison source code" "Ashley Madison script" "Ashley Madison 2nd dump" etc... and came up with nothing except articles :disgust

It's there if you know where to look. If you don't I'm not going to help you. This is stolen data and as such downloading it may not be lawful.

Here a little more. But Mcaffee is a bit of a nut-job too however he raises reasonable suspicion of the possibility of an inside job ... I would not rule this out in speculation.

right on target :2 cents::2 cents:

I WOuld love to have a look at thier DATA :-) must be interesting

PM me link for source code... I'd like to take a look at it. :D
