To read or process the Ashley Madison data is fairly straight forward. The dataset comes with a suite of files. These are:
- am_am.dump.gz
- aminno_member.dump.gz
- aminno_member_email.dump.gz
- member_details.dump.gz
- member_login.dump.gz
- CreditCardTransactions.7z
- README
Each of these files come with a PGP signature. You can use gunzip on a Mac (or unix platform) to extract the files. 7z files will require 7-Zip software on a Windows computer.
You will need MySQL software from Oracle to load this data. MySQL Community edition is free.
Top Cities by Users for Ashley Madison
Here’s are the Top 100 cities. It’s interesting that Singapore doesn’t feature on the list at all. The city-state had banned the site in the interest of the family. It looks like the ban worked. Sydney, New York and Toronto looks like a hotbed of infidelity.
