Cheating website hacked and customer data released.

Yeah, it is interesting how much power hacker groups have when they are basically just random people with good computer skills.

However I don't blame them at all for destroying marriages, I blame the people who cheated. If you went outside the bounds of your marriage it's your fault for doing it, not somebodies fault for finding you out.

I find that you take a simplistic view of it. Or maybe you're biased about it for some reason.

There are surely marriages among those destroyed by this action in which the cheated one wouldn't have ever found out about it - and been happier for it too. The view that what we don't know doesn't hurt us and that ignorance is bliss, can be especially true in this situation. But I might be wrong about this. Even so, it is the hackers' fault and you can't take that away from it just by putting an immoral spin into (or even bringing ethical considerations into it at all)  what they uncovered - at least not in this case, certainly. These are still people. Their lives should remain private no matter what - to the extent they wish them to be as such and especially if they're using a product that is supposed to protect their privacy. They fucked someone else - so fucking what? It's not a crime - or, at least, it sure as hell shouldn't be(especially when you take into account natural biological impulses that some humans have in the extreme).

I've never been cheated on, not that I know of. I also tend towards open relationships, so it's not really an issue for me. I've also never been married. I agree that it's not really a big deal if someone fucks someone else. However I agree with you. If it's emotionally damaging to the people who don't agree then it is morally wrong. Be an adult and work something out with your spouse. You can't blame the people who find out. That's like blaming snowden for revealing all the stuff the government was doing wrong. Maybe we'd be happier if we didn't know, but people have the right to know. This is all without the issue of all the dishonest and the STD risk.
