周一美国杀毒软件公司McAfee创始人John McAfee 在《国际财经时报》发表长篇声明称他认为Ashley Madison网站幕后的黑客是其母公司Avid Life Media 的一位女员工。他声称花了一个多星期分析泄露的数据才确认这个结果。他也从黑客的用词中得出应该是女性所为。
John McAfee表示，此前并没有黑客集团声称为自己的行为负责，因为黑客组织根本不存在。
他接着指出是从 Dark Web内部收集这一可靠信息的。他认为黑客对Ashley Madison的技术十分了解，根据曝光的数据分析，很多都是内部员工才能接触到的资料。
他也从黑客的用词习惯中发现应该是女性所为。
In the first manifesto two names of male members were released. In describing one of them the perpetrator states the he “spitefully” joined Ashley Madison the day after Valentine’s Day. Anyone who ever had a significant other knows that women rate Valentine’s Day higher than Christmas, and men think so little of it that they have to remind each other the day is nearing. To call an act the day after Valentines Day “spiteful”, is a thought that would enter few men’s minds. If this does not convince you then you need to get out of the house more often.
