CANADA: Ashley Madison Hit with $578M Class Action Suit

Two Canadian law firms have filed a joint class action suit against Ashley Madison “on behalf of all Canadians.” From the New York Post:

“They are outraged that AshleyMadison.com failed to protect its users’ information,” said attorney Ted Charney, who filed the suit last Thursday. “In many cases, the users paid an additional fee for the Web site to remove all of their user data — only to discover that the information was left intact and exposed.” The data breach exposed some 39 million members. The suit is against Avid Life Media, the Toronto-based company that runs the infidelity site. Ashley Madison did not respond to requests for comment. Also Sunday, the latest C-lister to be exposed as an Ashley Madison user publicly apologize to his family. Married Florida prosecutor Jeffrey Ashton, part of the team that failed to win a conviction of Casey Anthony in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, reportedly said in his profile, “I am looking for someone who has fantasies we can act out. “A big toy collection” would be a plus, he wrote.

We’d love to see a suit from Josh Duggar!
