Hacktivism [the act of hacking, or breaking into a computer system, for politically or socially or personally motivated purpose] might raise a lot of eye bras when mentioned to our hearing, at first negative thought sprung the mind. How can I blame the intuition and negative outlook, when the most popular news of them which touches on the ear drum are negatives?
The Ashley Madison infiltration by the “IMPACT TEAM” due to the kind of service it offers only brings to mind why allow infidelity and immorality strive and trend in our society this deep to allowing a site run an online community that promotes immorality at extreme. The “impact team” has hacked Ashley Madison obviously without permission; this was seemed to be done with one or two motives in mind, the obvious being to convince people behind the online infidelity community to shutdown the activities by threatening to release user data which include members personal information such as home address, credit card details, images, conversations place use to carry out this acts, in an attempt to force a shot-down of Ashley Madison infidelity service. This information was later released and made public nearly a month later, almost a whopping 20gig of internal company data held by Ashley Madison parent company AVID LIFE MEDIA.
Despite the alleged illegality that accompanied this act the good intentions of the hackers can never be subdued. As it was spelt out by the police superintendent in Toronto, Canada, Superintendent Bryce Evans that this activity is “illegal and can’t be tolerated”. Amazingly, felony has been committed in an attempt to help fix/free the society of immorality-but in a world where people claim many rights (In-sex right as it is being propagated in the Uk, Gay right, among others). How could you say Ashley Madison was wrong in helping people satisfy their sexual craves and making infidelity convert (fidelity in extra-marital affairs), as much as the goal seems wrong, it seems right in the eye of the law. Looking at the intention of the hacker to infiltrate Ashley Madison due to the kind of services it offer seemed right. The site provides an enabling atmosphere that promotes cheating on own wife or girlfriend or fiancée/fiancé, and favors adultery which is the main objective, thus is objectable on moral and on legal grounds. Though, other sites exist that promote same course, some even broadcast television broadcasts, one fact remains, no matter how intolerable it is, it is not illegal. Anonymity of other users cannot be easily traced or identified, promoting this idea that anyone can get away with infidelity or extra-marital affair with another person without the knowledge of your partner or keeping it secret from the significant other. Bad as it seems as long as you not caught their wouldn’t be any proof that can be against a person. One of the lacunas of running this is, keep it away from the claws of the law.
Despite people buying into the services it is a little surprise to find-out one or two celebrities signed up for this service on the website. Josh Dugger who should be promoting the right family values as executive director of a conservative lobbing group called ‘Family Research Council’ was found wanting [how hypocritical can people be in this world of ours!!!] he was later found twisting his tongue that he has absolved himself from the act more than a decade ago and was finally plying the “right path” how believable!. Doesn’t the idea of being unfaithful bother them one way or the other, after the crave for raging hormone has driven the instinct toward submitting to marital infidelity?
Two suicide cases in connection to the Ashley Madison infiltration has surfaced, maybe they’re too afraid to bear the pains that is going to come their way. If you’ve taken the leap of courage to own an account in an adultery society you should be strong enough to think less of suicide just because your immoral act will be exposed to public comments. If you could learn how to be good again and follow the right paths, though the past remains as part of your story forever, the future still holds a lot of great things.
If this “hacktivism” becomes successful in persuading the people behind Ashley Madison to call quit this service, it will be a big thing for the internet community but a victory for the society. Even if the activity of the “Impact Team” was illegal a great moral effect have been created and a sense of responsibility has been shown and felt.
