Ashley Madison hackers claim to have pictures

The hackers taking credit for infiltrating extramarital dating site Ashley Madison say they have much more data, including user pictures, chats and messages.

The group, which goes by the moniker Impact Team, answered questions via email from tech news site Motherboard.

The digital vigilantes are on a mission to expose Ashley Madison’s parent company, Avid Life Media (ALM), which they say has been misleading its customers about what data they collected and deleted. They dumped the data on Ashley Madison users only after the company refused to take down the site.
