Map Shows Top Connecticut Communities for Ashley Madison Cheaters

Personal data from the hack of Ashley Madison, a site for affair-seekers, continues to leak. And more information is becoming available and accessible to the public online.

And now Connecticut communities have found themselves in the crosshairs of that publicized information. (See below at the end of the post for a town-by-town breakdown)

One Reddit data collection identified Connecticut as the fifth highest state for dollars spent per capita on the site.

And another data collection has identified the numbers of users in each county, and each state in the United States, putting those towns on a map called “Malfideleco,” which means “infidelity” in the Esperanto language.

Tecnilógica, a Madrid-based digital agency, created the world map that shows the distribution of Ashley Madison users around the world without identifying names.

On the Reddit user list, Alabama was first, followed by Colorado, the District of Columbia, New Jersey and Connecticut.

Is this list plausible? Well, first off, it does not include data for several major Connecticut towns and cities. Waterbury, one of Connecticut’s biggest cities isn’t on the list and other notable towns including Fairfield are nowhere to be found.

On the flip side some towns have an inordinate amount of registered users. For example, Milford has more than 12,000 users despite a population of about 53,000.

In a 2014 report, Psychology Today magazine said more than 90 percent of Americans believe infidelity is unacceptable, yet 30 to 40 percent of the people engage in it. “Infidelity is associated with adverse outcomes such as depression, domestic violence, divorce, even homicide,” according to the report.

The revelations go back more than a month, when a group of hackers called The Impact Team broke into Ashley Madison’s data, obtaining names and personal information — credit card info, sexual habits, likes and desires and such.

Some have targeted the hackers and the company, looking to punish them both for the data breach. The Canadian government, where Ashley Madison is located, said it is investigating two suicides possibly related to the hack, and some attorneys who have filed $578 million class action lawsuit against the company.

Ashley Madison is offering a $500,000 reward for information leading to the capture of the people involved in the hack.
