Ashley Madison staff raised security concerns before hack

Employees, asked what they would hate to see go wrong, listed privacy and security flaws prominently

Senior staff at Ashley Madison, the hacked extramarital dating site, were raising concerns over its security procedures as recently as June, just a month before the site was attacked.

Internal documents leaked as part of the attack show concerns over "a lack of security awareness across the organisation" being raised by one vice president. A database containing the documents and more than 30 million user records exfiltrated in the attack, was posted to the internet on Tuesday.
