It's like Déjà vu all over again.

We literally just got over the massive data breach from the Ashley-Madison leak. As we said back in August of 2015:

We regret to inform you that during our break the FADA database was hacked as part of the Ashley Madison data dump...One truly raunchy exchange between two people with the profile names HotNPRstud and LauraKing(ky)* has been leaked to the media. Just ewwww. Also the entire profiles of LivingWageH8rDrCocTrackerRustyTrumbo and someone going by the name Mike Diver have all been compromised.  

We assume this last one is a pseudonym of some form since we looked at the profile picture and there is no way that’s Mike Diver. I mean, we’ve never seen the real thing … ya know, in person … but there’s just no conceivable way THAT is the same Mike Diver. Nah. 

Anyway, a few months ago, a Russian bot-farm bought $2.3 billion worth of FADA t-shirts thru our website. Then, Lozen gets the bright idea to take the proceeds and hire Cambridge Analytica to help grow our Facebook following — and simultaneously DESTROY Rob Sharp's Architects and Intellectuals Wednesday Night Happy Hour. Well, it worked beyond our wildest dreams, but…

Somewhere in there, 87 million Facebook profiles (give or take) may -- or may not! -- have been compromised. So, yeah, that’s what our attorneys might call “Our Bad.” Sorry.

You know where it is.

*Update: HotNPRstud was originally thought to be our own Kile Kellems, but has since been revealed to be Steve Inskeep. That was a little awkward. We have an idea who LauraKing(ky) was, but that’s mostly just a series of well placed rumors.
