Thousands of Tucsonans caught in affair website hack

An analysis of credit card information leaked by hackers and posted to the web found approximately 2,100 users from Tucson. The hack contained customers’ names, e-mail addresses and billing information. It did not include full credit-card numbers.

While the site is free to join, those who wanted to contact other users are charged a fee — starting at $49.

The site also offers a money-back “affair guarantee” if a customer fails to have a liason within three months.

One Tucsonan, whose name was apparently intended to be a Spanish-language version of the cartoon character Homer Simpson, apparently paid the site $25,000 for services.

Earlier this week the Arizona Republic reported that 19 email addresses from the data leak were tied to various state agencies including the Arizona Department of Corrections and the Department of Economic Security.

There were also one registered user each from the email domains of the Arizona Corporation Commission, Department of Racing and Department of Administration, the newspaper reported.
