AshleyMadison Wants Arbitration Of Data Breach Claims



http://www.nationallawjournal.com/home/id=1202776103684/Ashley-Madison-Data-Breach-Claims-Should-Be-Arbitrated-Company-Says
http://www.law360.com/articles/834290/ashley-madison-wants-arbitration-of-data-breach-claims

AshleyMadison's parent company is hoping to knock out more than 20 class actions filed over its 2015 data breach by invoking online arbitration agreements the plaintiffs signed when they subscribed to its matchmaking services.
In the litigation against AshleyMadison, a consolidated class action filed on June 24 alleges that Toronto-based Avid and its former CEO, Noel Biderman, generated revenues through a racketeering conspiracy of "valueless services" in violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act. Those services included the use of fake female profiles to convince users to pay for credits and a USD19 fee designed to delete their personal information from the site — even though it didn't. Plaintiffs also brought negligence and other common law claims and alleged violations of various state consumer and data breach statutes.

Firms Hit By Data Breach Likely To Lose Customers' Trust







http://www.cxotoday.com/story/customers-reluctant-to-work-with-cos-hit-by-cyber-attacks-report/
The organizations who have hit by data breach attacks, are likely to lose the trust of their potential customers, the new study has revealed. According to a report by the Internet Society, companies those are not doing enough to protect themselves from cybercrime will lose customers quickly as consumer confidence in web services is at an all-time low.  According to the findings, 59 percent of users admit they would likely not do business with a company which had suffered a data breach.

Nobody cares about AFF hacking incident, Management not interested at all.

http://www.breitbart.com/california/2016/11/16/friend-finder-hack-412-million-users-boon-extortionists/

In a short statement emailed November 9 2016, FriendFinder Network’s Vice President and Senior Counsel of Corporate Compliance & Litigation Diana Lynn Ballou tried to minimize the depth of the hack by stating: “We are aware of reports of a security incident, and we are currently investigating to determine the validity of the reports.  If we confirm that a security incident did occur, we will work to address any issues and notify any customers that may be affected.”
it means:

Recently Match Group launched OurTimeBrasil new site for Brazil, and the site is new but its initial database if full of profiles.
Perhaps Match Group merged databases from Match Brazil, ParPerfeito, or who knows? but ... it seems it is happening what was described by former Match angry customer:
"Now before I paid for a subscription, I spent about a week seeing what kind of women were using Match dot com. During this time, I was getting a ton of email from women who apparently liked or favourited me. However, after subscribing, the number of such emails I received dropped to zero. I found the reason for this, and it’s because in the daily match results, only 1 out of 12 users is a subscriber (I watched this happen for the last 10 days). Seems the daily match results are setup to maximize sending new users lots of emails. But once you're a member, you need to pay extra to get into these daily match results."
