Ashley Madison users may face more than just marital discord after the dating website's recent hack.

On Tuesday hackers who call themselves “The Impact Team” made good on their promise to publish personal data about users of Ashley Madison, a website that helps customers to cheat on their spouses. The hackers dumped 9.7 gigabytes worth of data about 32 million Ashley Madison users on to the so-called “dark web” — a part of the Internet that is only accessible via a specialized browser.

Instant messaging via Twitter, Facebook and smart phones allows people to reach out to others at all times, and for instant support. But there's a dangerous downside: It can lead to Internet infidelity.
