Aussie radio station outs woman’s cheating husband on live air

An Australian woman learned the hard way that it’s probably not a good idea to call a radio station in order to find out if your husband had an account with Ashley Madison, the recently hacked dating website for people in committed relationships.

A caller, who only identifies as “Jo,” rang up the NOVA radio station, asking the hosts to search the leaked database of the Toronto-based website. Earlier this week, hackers distributed the information of more than 32 million of the site’s users, including names, addresses and payment transactions.

Jo tells the hosts that she’s suspicious of her partner because his hours have changed, he keeps his phone close to him and when he learned about the hack on the news, he acted strange.

“Things have not been quite adding up,” she says.

When she asked her husband point blank if he’s on the site, Jo says that he told her not to be silly, since they have two children together.

The hosts, who were given the husband’s information before the caller went live, admit that they feel like they’re on notoriously dramatic talk show Jerry Springer, as they search for his name.

“His details reveal he is on the website, Jo,” one host admits.

The flabbergasted caller nearly drops the f-bomb, before shouting that “these websites are disgusting” and hanging up.

“I don’t know if we should have done that,” the other host admits. “That hasn’t left me with a good feeling.”

He follows up by assuring that it’s not enough evidence to prove her husband was definitely cheating and advises she have a conversation with him.

Several prominent people’s information have turned up in the database leak, including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s government email address, though there’s no way to verify who registered the account.
