Ashley Madison hack (2015)
The hacktivist group Impact Team hacked the Ashley Madison website, releasing millions of sensitive customer records to call attention to its weak security. The case illustrates how hacktivists use data theft and exposure for political or moral purposes rather than financial gain.
Notable hacktivist groups include Wikileaks, LulzSec, and Anonymous.
