 Hackers who stole millions of customer records from affair-inciting site Ashley Madison have posted the data online.

It comes almost exactly a month after hackers, dubbed Impact Team, claimed to have breached the company's systems, pilfering as many as 37 million customer records. They then threatened to release the files online.

The Toronto, Canada-based Avid Life Media, which owns the website, admitted the following day its systems had been breached. Just shy of 10 gigabytes of data were published late Tuesday to a dark web server -- inaccessible through ordinary browsers.
