Abstract

This summer Ashley Madison the online dating site was hacked and many gigabytes of data was downloaded from the site and published, including user records. Amongst these data more than 11 million user passwords were revealed. In this paper I investigate the case from the sysadmin's (or the management's) point of view on the basis of publicly known circumstances: what is the best practice to properly handle user passwords.
