Map Shows Top Long Island 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 Long Island communities have found themselves in the crosshairs of that publicized information.

One Reddit data collection identified New York as seventh highest on the list of states with the most unfaithful husbands and wives in the country.

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 towns on Long Island, including Long Beach and East Hampton. The town with the most users on Long Island is listed as “Huntington Beach” with 15,077 accounts. There is no Huntington Beach on Long Island. If it is referring to Huntington, we find that number very hard to believe in a town of less than 20,000 people.

If we leave “Huntington Beach” out of the equation (and we do on the list below), Brentwood comes in at No. 1 with 8,721 users.

The map also analyzed the composition of Ashley Madison users in terms of gender balance. In almost every single town on Long Island, more than 80 percent of the users are men.

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.
