olourful internet character John McAfee claims to know the Ashley Madison affair site “hack” was data stolen by a “lone female who worked for Avid Life Media”.

McAfee said that files found in the leaked database contain some peculiarities that he wouldn’t expect a hacker to normally know.

“The data contains actual MySQL database dumps. This is not just someone copying a table and making it into a .csv file,” he said.

The hack contains a lot of insider information, including employee stock options, the layout of the Ashley Madison offices, and the source code of every program ever written by the company’s employees.
