Mashable readers who saw the story on how Tecnilogica handled the hacked AshleyMadison data have a universal first reaction.
They search to see how many users the sex site had in their hometown.
Here’s some quick number grabs for the number of Tri-Cities members. According to the story about 85% are male.
Johnson City – 6,282
Kingsport – 4,149
Greeneville – 1,557
Rogersville -1,302
Elizabethton -1,117
Jonesborough – 879
Erwin – 556
Bristol, VA and Bristol TN didn’t show up on the map. But here’s a user sampling of some of the area’s smaller towns:
Blountville – 426
Church Hill – 426
Bulls Gap – 367
Gate City – 276
Piney Flats – 236
Chuckey – 187
Weber City – 55
Walnut Hill – 27
The map, which took eight hours to create, has two layers: gender ratio and number of users in each city. It also takes data hacks and how personal data is protected – or not protected – by internet sites to a new level.
According to Mashable, “The map can’t be used to identify cheaters, though. The company showed mercy to the victims of the AshleyMadison hack by stripping all sensitive data — name, address and email. They also excluded deserted middle-of-nowhere cities where there were less than 10 users who could probably be busted by process of elimination.”
