In the wake of the Ashley Madison hack, we're continuing to learn that there's no such thing as 100% security on the Internet.
The hack of the "dating" site AshleyMadison.com, which threatens to expose the personal information of millions of people who may be cheating on their spouses, was initially met with snark. So what if some alleged cheaters are going to be exposed, right? But the hackers' reasons for holding the information hostage were not actually about the sanctity of marriage vows—in fact, they point to a much deeper and more widespread issue. In short, can any data you hand over to a faceless online company ever truly be removed?
