She explains how John spent his life
helping others but could not help himself. "It wasn't so bad that we wouldn't
have forgiven it, and so many people have said that to us, but for John, it
carried such a shame," she said. She also added that he was afraid he
would lose his job.

stark, heart-wrenching reminder that the criminal hack against our company and
our customers has had very real consequences for a great many innocent
people."
The world is yet to hear the end of the atrocities being committed by Ashley Madison hackers and their nefarious escapade.
