Hackers calling themselves the Impact Team, have posted 9.7 gigabytes of stolen customer details from AshleyMadison.com online for all to see. The sensitive customer information was uploaded on Tuesday, and was initially only available via the anonymising Tor Web Browser.
Enterprising coders have since created websites that make it possible
to enter specific email addresses to see if they match the stolen
customer records.
According to several reports, the files seem to include the login and
account details for almost 33 million people, who at some point signed
up for the site. The released files date all the way back to 2008. While
they do not contain any actual credit card numbers, they do apparently
include street addresses, names, and transactions While users of
AshleyMadison.com may have falsified their information when signing up, (such as giving a false name),
unless they used a pre-paid credit card, then their information will be
contained somewhere within the near 10 gigabytes of stolen details. AshleyMadison.com is a dating website aimed fully at men and women
who are already married, and are actively looking to have affairs. The
company has courted controversy since its founding by Noel Biderman
back in 2001, but has proved to extremely successful as a workable
business model. The company whose motto goes “Life is short, have an
affair,” is no stranger to controversy, priding itself on its
pro-infidelity approach to life. However Ashley Madison also prided
itself on being ‘discrete,’ which may now no longer be a selling point
for future users of the site. According to Impact Team’s initial statement posted online, part of their motivation was to target a company that lies, and “profits on the pain of others.” Another motivating factor was apparently the fact that Ashley Madison’s full profile deletion option, that generated $1.7 million alone in 2014 for the company,
is not quite as comprehensive as users might have hoped for: Users real
names and addresses are still allegedly kept on file, and this
information comprised part of Impact Team’s statement. Impact Team said they would release all the customer records they had obtained unless AshleyMadison.com was taken “offline permanently in all forms.”
Ashley Madison did not comply with this request. Avid Life Media, the
company owning Ashley Madison, said in a statement: “This event is not
an act of ‘hacktivism’, it is an act of criminality…” The original theft of the Data took place in July, and evidence allegedly points to a former employee of Ashley Madison with inside knowledge of the company.
EXCLUSIVE: Eva said she bedded ace to upset me, claims ex-lover
Passionate ... Chelsea doc Eva Carneiro
CHELSEA doctor Eva Carneiro’s ex says they split after she taunted him by claiming she had sex with a player. Eva,
demoted after a row with Jose Mourinho, had a passionate relationship
with Rupert Patterson-Ward for 15 months. He said last night: “This
woman ruined my life. “Eva would blurt out she had slept
with one of the players during heated rows. She said it just to make me
feel bad. I don’t believe it was true.’’
Besotted ... Eva's ex Rupert Patterson-Ward
Rupert claims one Chelsea player called her to his hotel room and answered the door naked. He added: “She prides herself on being popular among the players. Eva loved the attention.” Chelsea fan Rupert, 33, spoke after Eva was dropped from the bench after a row with manager Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho labelled his medical team “naïve” after they rushed on to the
pitch to treat Eden Hazard in the closing stages of their home game with
Swansea last weekend. The Belgian star had to walk off the pitch after Eva and physio Jon Fearn attended to him. It left Chelsea, already a man down, with just nine players.
Bust-up ... Jose Mourinho blasts Eva during match
Advertising salesman Rupert began dating Eva in January 2012 and last
night told how she is passionate, ruthless and gets whatever she wants. And he revealed how the Gibraltar-born medic, now 41, once led him to the bedroom and declared: “Let me treat you.” He said: “Eva is a very sexual woman and not many people know the real her. “She’s ruthless and gets whatever and whoever she wants. “I was besotted with her and we were planning a family, but she chewed me up and spat me out.
A touch of glass ... Eva downs wine on holiday in 2013
“She rubbished me because I earned less than £30,000 a year — what
some footballers collect in a day. I tried so hard but nothing was good
enough for her.” He said: “Eva loved sex. It was so important to her. We would have sex every single day. “She is a fiery and passionate woman who knows what she wants. I was an incredibly lucky man. “We were blissfully happy. We were an item and wanted the world to know — two people very much in love.” Rupert
was so keen to impress her he embarked on a rigorous gym regime in a
bid to look more like the hunky football stars she worked with on a
daily basis. But one of his workouts left him in agony when he pulled a shoulder muscle.
With Rupert ... couple before she dumped him
He said: “I was doubled up and really hurting. When Eva came back she saw I was in pain. “She took me to her bedroom, and with a twinkle in her eye said, ‘I need to treat you’. “She tore off my clothes, glanced at my shoulder, jumped on me and we had passionate sex.” But
months later, as their relationship floundered, he claims she taunted
him by bragging that she’d had sex with a player during their time
together. Rupert said: “Eva would blurt out she had slept with one of the players during heated rows. “She said it just to make me feel bad. I don’t believe it was true.’’
The fact the couple were dating was the subject of Chelsea fans’ blogs.
One posted a photo of Eva and Rupert with the message: “A million
dreams have just been shattered... Eva and her boyfriend.”
Cleopatra ... her club party outfit
Eva joined Chelsea in 2009 and former manager Andre Villas-Boas
brought her into the first-team fold in 2011. She is regarded as a
top-class professional and one of the best sports medics in the game. Rupert
first met her at Frankie’s sports bar in the club’s Stamford Bridge
complex. He said: “I was a bit tipsy and loose-tongued and went over and
began chatting. “She was with her parents but I didn’t care. I
chatted for as long as I could without freaking her out, and made sure
she had my name, phone number, email, you name it. “That day was like a Carlsberg TV ad.” Rupert
believes Eva mistakenly thought he worked at Chelsea FC. But he was
welcomed into the inner sanctum of the club as her boyfriend and was on
friendly terms with the team’s superstars.
Pet pooch ... the doctor with her dog
He said: “Eva got me tickets to every home game. I’d go to lots of away matches too. “Everyone at the club knew who I was. I was invited to the homes of Florent Malouda and Petr Cech. “I
travelled to Munich for the Champions League final with John Terry’s
wife Toni, Frank Lampard’s partner Christine Bleakley and all of the
team’s friends and family. “John knew who I was and I’d shake hands with Didier Drogba and others. It was amazing.” During a lavish trip to Marbella, Eva asked Rupert if he would consider moving to Spain so they could live close to her family. He said: “I answered ‘yes’ in a flash. We were so in love. “We discussed having children. We had sex a million times. “She could have fallen pregnant any day.”
Cup cake ... she enjoys a tasty treat

But Rupert told how Eva’s high-pressure job means she can change emotions in an instant. They began having bust-ups in September 2012. Rupert sub-let his flat and moved into Eva’s property in Earlsfield, South London, but their rows became more frequent.
He was so worried he was losing her that he once hired a £50,000 Jeep
4x4 to pick her up from Chelsea’s training ground in Cobham, Surrey. But
the cracks in the relationship began to deepen. Rupert said he “saw the real Eva” when she briefly dumped him after her 39th birthday because he “hadn’t made enough effort”. New Year’s Eve at a pub was also a disaster when Eva and Rupert were joined by her parents. He said: “I saw Eva give out her number to another guy. I got drunk and went home alone. “Later
in Eva’s bedroom, she slapped me hard with both hands around my face.
She then kicked me out of the house in front of her parents. I had
nowhere to go and it was humiliating. We patched things up a day or two
later.” Rupert said whenever he rowed with Eva she would pull out her claim that she had slept with one of the Chelsea squad.
On hols ... pair together in June, 2013
He said: “She told how one
footballer would constantly hit on her, parading around naked in front
of her at every opportunity in the dressing room and making sure she got
a real eyeful. “After one match he called her to his hotel room and answered the door completely starkers. “Eva rubbed my nose in it when we rowed. It was cruel. “She is a fiery Latino, sex-mad, and prides herself on being popular among the players. Eva loved the attention.” He said the professional demands placed on her by the team put a huge strain on the relationship. “He
recalled: “We would be sitting at home watching TV and she would have
calls from players at 9pm or 10pm. They would have had a sore leg or had
pulled a hamstring. “She always went and returned in the early hours. I had to get my head around the fact she would be giving players rub downs.” The
end for Rupert came after an ill-fated trip to Marbella at the end of
the 2013 season. He said: “She never spoke to me again.” Rupert,
who has since found new love, said of Eva: “She loves hanging around
rich guys with huge egos. I think she liked me because I was different,
but ultimately I wasn’t enough for her.”
Mohammed Emwazi, who is believed to be the killer Jihadi John in several beheading videos released online by the Islamic State group, may have worn out his welcome with the terrorist organization. Emwazi reportedly fled the militant group in Syria several weeks ago, bound for North Africa.
Emwazi, once a London resident, apparently fears the militant group formerly known as either ISIL or ISIS will drop him “like a stone or worse if they feel he is no longer of any use to them,” a source told the Daily Express newspaper in the U.K. The source added, “So it is possible he will end up suffering the same fate as his victims.”
The 26-year-old gained notoriety when identified as Jihadi John, who had brutally beheaded journalists and humanitarian-aid workers from the U.S. and Britain in propaganda messages released by the Islamic State group over the past year. The Express reported the loss of anonymity has terrified Emwazi.
A priority of the American and British special forces fighting the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria is to track down Emwazi, who is concerned that jealous fellow militants may be plotting against him, the Daily Express reported.
Emwazi, a Kuwait-born U.K. immigrant who holds a degree in computer science from the University of Westminster, may be laying low with a lesser-known jihadist group in Syria. He is wanted by allied forces for questioning in the killings of James Foley, David Haines, Alan Henning, Peter Kassig and Steven Sotloff.
A former friend of Emwazi told the Express that the jihadist had not been “a good Muslim” and never wore the Islamic dress he has been seen wearing in the beheading videos. “He smoked drugs, drank and was violent towards other boys,” said the friend, who was not named in the report. “The fact he portrays himself as a strict Muslim is laughable and shameful.”
Dylann Roof Photos and a Manifesto Are Posted on Website
Photo
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Dylann Roof spat on and burned the American flag, but waved the Confederate.
He
posed for pictures wearing a No. 88 T-shirt, had 88 Facebook friends
and wrote that number — white supremacist code for “Heil Hitler”— in the
South Carolina sand.
A
website discovered Saturday appears to offer the first serious look at
Mr. Roof’s thinking, including how the case of Trayvon Martin, the black
Florida teenager shot to death in 2012 by George Zimmerman, a
neighborhood watch volunteer, triggered his racist rage. The site shows a
stash of 60 photographs of Mr. Roof, many at Confederate heritage sites
or slavery museums, and includes a racist manifesto in which the author
criticized blacks as being inferior while lamenting the cowardice of
white flight.
“I
have no choice,” it reads. “I am not in the position to, alone, go into
the ghetto and fight. I chose Charleston because it is most historic
city in my state, and at one time had the highest ratio of blacks to
Whites in the country. We have no skinheads, no real KKK, no one doing
anything but talking on the internet. Well someone has to have the
bravery to take it to the real world, and I guess that has to be me.”
The
website was first registered on Feb. 9 in the name of Dylann Roof, the
21-year-old man charged with entering a black church in Charleston
Wednesday night, attending a prayer meeting for an hour and then
murdering nine parishioners. The day after the site was registered, the
registration information was intentionally masked.
It
is not clear whether the manifesto was written by Mr. Roof or if he had
control of it. Nor is it clear whether he took the pictures with a
timer, or if someone else took them. The F.B.I. and Charleston police
officials say they are examining the site.
But
if it is genuine, as his friends seem to think, the tourist sites he
visited, the pictures that were posted and the hate-filled words filling
the site offered a chilling glimpse into the interests of an unemployed
high school dropout said to have a fixation on race and a murderous
rage.
“This
whole racist thing came into him within the past five years,” said
Caleb Brown, a childhood friend of Mr. Roof’s who is half-black. “He was
never really popular; he accepted that. He wasn’t like, ‘When I grow up
I am going to show all these kids.’ He accepted who he was, and who he
was changed, obviously.”
Mr.
Roof, who is accused of being the lone gunman who entered the Emanuel
A.M.E. Church Wednesday night and unleashing a murderous rampage with a
.45 handgun, has been charged with nine counts of murder in connection
with the killings. Victims included the Rev. Clementa C, Pinckney, who
was both the church pastor and a state senator.
Mr.
Roof, who was first identified by surveillance footage released the
morning after the killings, is being held at the Charleston County jail,
along with a North Charleston police officer charged with shooting an
unarmed African-American motorist in the back in April.
Mr.
Roof’s friends say that he only spoke of his racist leanings once —
when he recently warned that he planned to do something crazy with the
gun he had purchased with the money he got from his parents for his 21st
birthday. But they say he was bothered by the uproar surrounding the
Trayvon Martin case.
Family members of those killed Wednesday
at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C.,
addressed the shooting suspect, Dylann Roof, in court.

The website, the lastrhodesian.com,
features a photo of a bloodied dead white man on the floor. The picture
appears to be a shot from “Romper Stomper,” an Australian movie about
neo-Nazis. It was first discovered by a blogger who goes by the pen name
Emma Quangel.
The blogger was inspired by another Twitter user to pay $49 for a reverse domain search that turned up the site.
According
to web server logs, the manifesto was last modified at 4:44 p.m.
Eastern time on Wednesday, the day of the Charleston shootings, and the
essays notes: “at the time of writing I am in a great hurry.”
The
manifesto says: “The event that truly awakened me was the Trayvon
Martin case. I kept hearing and seeing his name, and eventually I
decided to look him up. I read the Wikipedia article and right away I
was unable to understand what the big deal was,” the essay says. “It was
obvious that Zimmerman was in the right. But more importantly this
prompted me to type in the words ‘black on White crime’ into Google, and
I have never been the same since that day.”
The account cites the website of the far-right Council of Conservative Citizens as a site he learned from.
A
friend of Mr. Roof’s, Jacob Meek, 15, said the references to the
Trayvon Martin case made it clear that Mr. Roof had written the essay.
“That’s his website,” he said. “He wrote it, and I just can tell.”
Watchdog
groups that track right-wing extremism say the manifesto reflects the
language found in white supremacist forums online and dovetails with
what has been said about Mr. Roof thus far — that he had
self-radicalized, and that he did not belong to a particular hate group.
“It’s clear that he was extremely receptive to those ideas,” said Mark
Pitcavage, the director of the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on
Extremism. “At the same time, he does not have a sophisticated knowledge
of white supremacy.”
In
one picture, Mr. Roof is shown posing with wax figures of slaves. In
others, he posed with a handgun that appears to be a .45-caliber Glock.
He had a .45-caliber Glock in his car when he was arrested Thursday, the
police said.
Mr.
Roof is alone in all the photos, which show a slave plantation;
Sullivan’s Island, S.C.; and the Museum and Library of Confederate
History in Greenville, S.C. He sports the same gloomy look in many of
the photos, but others depict nature scenes and vacation photographs.
According to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s glossary of racist skinhead terms,
“Fourteen stands for the ‘14 words’ slogan coined by David Lane,” who
died in 2007 while serving a 190-year sentence for his part in the
assassination of a Jewish talk show host. The slogan, according to the
center, is “‘We must secure the existence of our people and a future for
white children.” The letter H is the eighth letter of the alphabet, so
88 is a known code for “Heil, Hitler.” The website’s links contain
several passages of long racist rants, saying Hispanics are enemies and
“Negroes” have lower I.Q.s and low impulse control. The writings are not
signed.
Mr. Roof’s Tumblr had contained photos that matched his Facebook page, but both were taken down after the killings.
The
manifesto discovered Saturday uses defamatory terms for blacks, whom he
accused of being “stupid and violent” with “the capacity to be very
slick.” It laments white flight, and suggested that the whites should
instead stay behind in cities and fight.
Criticisms
are levied at Hispanics and Jews, but Asians are praised for being
racists and potential allies. Whites are unfairly portrayed as all
having been slave owners, the essay says. In reality, the author wrote,
slavery was not that bad.
Mr. Brown said his friend’s transformation appeared to have occurred after he transferred to a new high school in Lexington.
“He wasn’t putting on Facebook ‘I hate black people. I am going to shoot up a church,” Mr. Brown said.
“I think that because I am rich, handsome and a great player people are envious of me. I don’t have any other explanation.” That’s Cristiano Ronaldo talking about why people hate him. While other soccer players date models and appear in underwear ads
too, no one’s lifestyle gets under the skin of soccer fans like
Ronaldo’s. He’s one of the biggest stars at the 2014 World Cup, and also one of the most polarizing.
He earned $44 million last year, making him the ninth highest-paid athlete on earth.
He recently signed a contract that’ll pay him
$23 million per year until 2018 — making him the world’s highest-paid
active player.
He makes almost that much ($21 million annually) in off-field endorsements.
He has modeled for Armani, and has an underwear line coming out with designer Richard Chai.
He has a deal with Jacob & Co. watches, and has been spotted wearing their $160,000 watches.
His pretty boy image has made him one of the most hated players in the world.
But he had the best quote ever about it, saying,
“I think that because I am rich, handsome and a great player people are
envious of me. I don’t have any other explanation.”
He’s also rehabilitating his image with some human moments, like the time he cried after winning the Ballon d’Or.
File Photo: Soldier pictured in the scene of a bus bombing in Nairobi
Two blasts hit Kenya’s capital on Friday, May 16, 2014 killing four
people and injuring many more, in what appeared to be the latest in a
string of increasingly frequent terror attacks.
The blasts came the same week the United States and the U.K. issued
renewed warnings about possible terror attacks in Kenya, leading to a
bristling response from the country’s president Friday, who said such
warnings strengthen the will of terrorists.
Before the blasts, the U.S. embassy sent out a new travel alert
Friday to American citizens warning of a continued terrorist threat in a
country where the U.S. Embassy suffered a devastating attack in 1998.
An earlier U.S. warning this week said for the first time that the
embassy itself is taking new steps to increase security “due to recent
threat information regarding the international community in Kenya.”
Britain’s government also warned its citizens this week to avoid the
coastal city of Mombasa and beach towns nearby, prompting a travel
company to cut short the vacations of hundreds of British citizens and
fly them home.
An explosion on Friday hit a mini-van that Kenyans use for public
transportation near downtown Nairobi, and another blast went off near a
market, Kenya’s National Disaster Operation Centre said.
Security concerns have long been high in Kenya because of its
proximity to Somalia and the al-Qaida-linked terrorist group that
operates there. In September, four al-Shabab gunmen attacked an upscale
mall in Nairobi, killing at least 67 people. The 1998 embassy bombing
killed more than 200.
Since the mall attack, Kenya has suffered numerous smaller bombings
in Nairobi and Mombasa. Kenyan authorities, with the help of the FBI,
also discovered a huge car bomb that could have caused massive damage.
Armed Marines patrol the U.S. Embassy grounds in Nairobi in bullet
proof vests and helmets. Increasingly frequent emergency drills tell
embassy staff: “Duck and cover, duck and cover.”
“We know from experience whether it’s been in Yemen where embassies
have been attacked or in Benghazi where our consulate and ambassador was
attacked, anything that is a symbol of a foreign country is a potential
target,” said Scott Gration, the immediate past U.S. ambassador in
Kenya.
Gration, a retired U.S. Air Force major general who runs a technology
and investment consultancy in Nairobi, said embassies “are always a
target, whether you have a warning out or not, they tend to be a magnet
for people that have ideological intentions.”
President Uhuru Kenyatta, who began a previously planned news
conference only minutes after the Nairobi blasts, offered his
condolences but dismissed the U.S. and U.K. travel warnings, saying that
terrorism is a common problem, including in New York and Boston.
Kenyatta said he was aware of Britain’s warning and the decision to evacuate tourists.
“I don’t want to refer to anybody in particular. Acts like were done
yesterday, by the people you just mentioned, only strengthens the will
of terrorists as opposed to helping us defeat that war,” Kenyatta said.
Kenyatta said the country would install 2,000 security cameras in Nairobi and Mombasa to help combat terrorism.
Kenya sees a big drop in tourism activity — a major money maker for the country — whenever such alerts are issued.
The U.S. Embassy says that more than 100 people have been killed in
shootings, grenade attacks and small bombs in Kenya over the past 18
months.
TUI Travel, which owns the British tourism companies Thomson and
First Choice, canceled all flights to Mombasa until October because of
the security alert. The company also evacuated all customers in Kenya on
flights Thursday and Friday.
The British warning was only for the area immediately around Mombasa.
The evacuation was a private company initiative, not a government one.
Gration said many tourism companies have insurance policies that
don’t allow travelers to be in high-risk locations. He said Kenya’s
coast is a beautiful and mostly safe location.
“My belief is that everywhere there are issues and we all need to be
prudent in when we go and where we go,” Gration said. “So I don’t travel
at night, avoid big crowds and lock my doors. Whether you are in
Newark, New Jersey or Nairobi, Kenya, we can all fall victim to crime or
terrorism.”
Many of us are struggling to develop new dietary habits, while others
are just hoping to shed that lingering holiday weight. Either way,
healthy eating habits mean different things to different people, and
unfortunately some guys are of the mistaken belief that one of the best
ways to maintain a healthy diet is by removing as much fat as possible.
The truth is that your body needs fat. It’s just a matter of consuming
the right kinds of fat. To help you separate the good from the bad,
we’ve compiled a list of the best fats and where to find them.
1. Monounsaturated Fats
If you’re looking for ways to keep your cholesterol in check,
monounsaturated fats are your ticket. Why? Studies suggest they have the
ability to not only lower your bad cholesterol (LDL), but they can also
increase your good cholesterol (HDL) levels. The best places to find
them are in a wide variety of oils, as well as in avocados and even
poultry. And, for all your guys who can’t resist a good snack, you’ll be
thrilled to know that you now have an excellent excuse to snack on
cashews, almonds, and hazelnuts.
2. Polyunsaturated Fats
Polyunsaturated fats, well known for their cholesterol-reducing
capabilities, can also assist in reducing blood pressure. They’re
available in supplement form and can be found in various oils including
safflower, soy, and sunflower.
3. Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA)
Research suggests that consuming this fatty acid and frequenting the gym
for at least 4.5 hours per week significantly reduces body fat–not
weight. A Swedish study also discovered that CLA has a direct impact on
the reduction of some forms of colon cancer. CLA is most readily found
in grass-fed poultry and meats, as well as dairy and eggs.
4. Medium-Chain Triglyceride (MCT)
Struggling to lose weight? Consider changing from olive oil to fatty
acid MCT oil. New York-based researchers found that weight-loss program
participants consuming MCT oil instead of olive oil experienced a
greater loss of weight and fat–including intra-abdominal body fat. Why?
MCT increases fat burning. Just a few drops over your favorite meals
will help. Other sources of MCT oil include palm kernel oil and coconut
oil.
5. Fish Oil
Does heart disease run in your family? If so, you probably already know
the importance of controlling your portions, limiting salt intake, and
consuming fruits, vegetables, and fiber. According to Oregon
researchers, something else that could help in the prevention of heart
disease is fish oil. Bonus: The same researchers indicate that it could
also be effective in promoting better eye and mental health. Even if
your breath were suddenly to smell of fish, with all of these perks,
it’s still worth it.
