A list of towns who use the adultery site, and their percentage of users, from 'RoadSnacks.' No names were revealed.

The picture for Ashley Madison says “ssshhh.” But the website for those who may violate their wedding vows is not so secret anymore.

Now RoadSnacks has a list (see below) that took zip code information from the recent hack of the “have an affair” website and applied population totals to determine the percentage of users. No names were revealed.

According to RoadSnacks, there were over 32 million accounts created on Ashley Madison, and the going consensus is that almost all of them were created by men. After analyzing cities and townships in Virginia, the site provided the below list with the highest percentage of Ashley Madison accounts in the commonwealth.

If a zip code falls into more than one city, RoadSnacks applied the accounts registered in that zip code to each city.

The revelations go back months, 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 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.
