Things just went from bad to worse for Ashely Madison. After today’s latest massive data dump comes the news that Ashely Madison is facing a class action lawsuit:
Two law firms have filed a national class-action lawsuit on behalf of all Canadians who subscribed to AshleyMadison.com.
The action is being brought against Avid Dating Life Inc. and Avid Life Media Inc., the corporations that run the infidelity website.
The plaintiff in the lawsuit is Eliot Shore, an Ottawa resident and disabled widower who became single after his wife of 30 years died of breast cancer. He joined the site, but did not meet another subscriber in person, the law firms say.
The class action, led by firms Charney Lawyers and Sutts, Strosberg LLP, is not being brought against the Impact Team hackers who attacked AshleyMadison.com.
The law firms have a joint press release for you to read located here. Since this is a class action lawsuit, those affected can join the class and make life really miserable for Ashely Madison. You’ll note that the so called “Impact Team” aren’t being sued. That’s likely because the lawyers feel that the only people responsible for this mess are the people who run Ashely Madison.
Expect more lawsuits to come.
UPDATE: The Lawyers behind this lawsuit have a website set up here.
