Ashley Madison site hackers claim ethical intentions

The group claiming to have hacked cheaters’ website Ashley Madison for personal information of millions of adulterers allege the company failed to secure users’ data.

The so-called Impact Team hackers highlight that Ashley Madison advertises a $19 service fee to members cancelling accounts who want assurances all data will be deleted, but the hackers call that “a complete lie.” The group is demanding the site used by “cheating dirtbags” be shut-down or it will release all customer records because they “deserve no discretion.”

What do you think is the real motivation of the hackers? Did Ashley Madison fail to protect user data by linking accounts with payment information? Is it unethical, or a straightforward business cost, for websites to charge a premium to scrub user accounts?
