The hackers, who broke into Ashley Madison, have released two tranches of 30 GB data about the
users of the adultery site.
The data includes email IDs, addresses, user descriptions, height, weight, passwords, credit card numbers and transaction details of users, who have sought sex outside marriage.
A Spanish digital agency Tecnilógica mapped these numbers on a world map, in effect, depicting the patterns of those seeking extra-martial affairs in different countries.
Here are the top five adultery trends from India:
Red dots are areas where more than 85% of Ashley Madison customers are men. In areas with yellow dots, men are less than that percentage.

2) New Delhi is the adultery 'capital' of India with 38,652 users. It is followed by Mumbai (33,036), Chennai (16,434), .Hyderabad (12,825), Kolkata (11,807), and Bengaluru (11,561).
3) Several state capitals also have significant users - Ahmedabad 7,009, Chandigarh 2,918, Jaipur 5,045, Lucknow 3,885 and Patna 2,524.
4) Ashley Madison has users all over the country even in small places. People in places such as Jodhpur, Aizawl, Leh, and Nagercoil are seeking partners outside their spouses.
5) The information on the profile of Indian users is yet to be crunched. But you can expect patterns reported elsewhere to hold good here.
In Britain, for example, scientists, government employees, police officers, health professionals and corporate employees are among the users.
Though there are single men and women seeking each other on Ashley Madison, the site targets those seeking extra-marital kicks in their lives.
Of the 37 million users of the site, the category of ‘attached male seeking female’ emerged on top with over 18.3 million users.
Last month, Ashley Madison was hacked by group called Impact Team, which has threatened to release all user data if the website is not shut down.
