Some members, unable to face the shame of public exposure, committed suicide, others lost their jobs, and others destroyed their marriages. Of course thousands of extortions followed from the data that they 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.
He said in a press release that the company is offering victims of the attack $ 11,8 million. Victims who have suffered "proven damage" will be eligible for compensation 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.
