To ask if anyone has checked the leaked Ashley Madison info?

[BoredAdminGirl]

I bet there are a lot of men around the globe sweating today!

I think this person is a hacker.

yeah, i should really read the usernames, but i very rarely do

IP adresses are pretty much meaningless, mine shows me living about 30 miles away.

Gloating about this while our information is being posted everywhere in just such a hack is vile

I'm certainly not gloating.

MNpostingbot is decidedly dodgy. Not a convincing last post either to deflect.

I didn't read the OP as gloating and MNpostingbot is a regular poster. Although I don't agree with finding where someone is through their IP address it does show what can be done with the information.

I feel quite uncomfortable with the last few posts MNpostingbot has posted

Although I don't agree with the morals or AM users I think it's awful whats happened on here and there, posting things you think are private and being quite candid whilst believing you are anonymous and then realising this is not the case is awful.

I agree. I'm sure a lot of MN users would be just as mortified to have their posts leaked.

This is a little like a personal diary!

MNpostingbot might usually be a regular poster but we don't know who is currently using the account going by previous efforts.

^ This!

This is true, plus they made a comment about the town a particular poster lives in. Rather threatening

And I've just been called ridiculous for highlighting the concerns around MNpostingbot's comments about the IP addresses in another thread. I was told
to ask for it to be deleted which it has.

It took me 3 clicks to pinpoint where a particularly known MNer is posting from, no wonder she's so miserable, I would be if I lived in that particularly miserable North west town

Snoopadoop I am not gloating

You were called ridiculous (by me) for refusing to ask for a thread to be deleted in which you wrongly claimed another MNer was the hacker and was threatening to access MNers facebook and bank accounts. Which clearly is not the case. There is a high level of panic on MN at the moment, demonstrated very well by your own knee jerk panicked aformetioned thread. There really is no justification for keeping a thread going that is clearly accusing someone in the wrong. Thankfully HQ agree.

As I had said I was just trying to make sure more people saw the issue with the IP addresses. I thought I was being helpful. I had asked for it to be deleted before you were so rude as to call me ridiculous. Give yourself a slow round of applause for being so condescending.

You can't just put an IP address in google to find out the location of a poster.

This indicates an altogether more suspect motive/individual.

Im glad you saw sense. You were being ridiculous when you insisted on keeping the thread though. It was scaremongeing, with false information. It served no purpose at all and was likely to create more panic.

I guess I should be flattered that you chose to spend so much time on having a go at me though. Three times. On two different threads.

CURLYSUE- you do not know who is currently using that account. Go back and read the posts.

I have read the comments. Are you saying that poster's account has been hacked? This has been confirmed?

There is a possibility. Have reported.

We don't know. The posts have now been deleted.

Probably because it was more scaremongering and lay on the goady side of the rules. Theres enough panicking going on without MNers saying "well i i wanted to i could do x,y and z right now"
