Ashley Madison: How Many Cheaters Live in Canton?

Want to know how many cheaters live in Canton? Well now you can — they’ve been put on a map.

As personal data for users of the dating site promising “discreet” encounters for married people continues to be leaked, a Madrid-based digital agency named Tecnilógica has created an interactive map that identifies Ashley Madison Users worldwide.

Michigan, like presumably everyplace, has its fair share of cheaters. While larger cities like Detroit and Grand Rapids had more than 20,000 Ashley Madison users, people in small towns weren’t exactly angels, either.

In Canton, as listed on Tecnilógica’s map, there were 24,397 Ashley Madison users.

It’s worth noting that this number is simply that of active usernames registered to the Canton location. The map created by Tecnilógica may not account for fake usernames.

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 to July, 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.
