In 2015, the webσελίδα online dating site Ashley Madison fell victim of a hacking attack, which resulted in the interception and leakage of personal data by members of the service.
So the extramarital expectations of about 37 million people (mostly men) came out, very badly Results.
Some members who have been unable to cope with the shame of the public show have committed suicide, others have lost their jobs, and others have destroyed their marriage. Of course, thousands of extortions followed the data leaked.
Now, however, the owner of Ashley Madison, Ruby Corp, is trying to correct the chaos, because his company did not comply with basic security regulations.
So he said in a press release, that the company offers the victims of the attack 11,8 millions dollars. Victims who have suffered "proven damages" will be eligible for compensation of up to $3.500, according to the company.
Obviously, the amount reported by Ruby Corp is not huge when it is divided into all users of Ashley Madison who leaked their data (37 million people).
Η Wall Street Journal believes that out of them, only six million members will receive a payment. If we divide 11,8 into millions of dollars with six million, the result reaches 2 dollars the individual.
Even if someone receives the maximum amount (3.500 dollars) is rather sadly inadequate, to the point that it seems provocatively offensive.
The insignificant security of Ashley Madison literally destroyed lives, but as the company seems, she thinks everything will be forgotten, with a modest amount.
