The Ashley Madison Database Was Leaked

I wonder how she would feel if she was addicted to narcotics, went to NarcAnon and then had her name published when someone leaked/hacked their database because "those people shouldn't have done drugs in the first place". Or replace NA with AA.

I can tell you exactly what a person like that's response would be: "I would never do drugs."

I think there's a small but important difference. The hack would be closer to someone revealing the list of customers of whoever gave her the narcotics. They did not reveal the identity of those trying to fix their issues, like AA/NA would be.

Or, to put it the other way around, they revealed the database of the cheating site, not the patient list of the marriage counselor.
