Personal data from a hack of the Ashley Madison hookup website that promotes “discreet” dating encounters continues to leak. And more information is becoming available and accessible to the public on the Internet.

And now Bucks County, and many of its communities, have found themselves in the crosshairs of that publicized information. (The list of the top 10 Bucks County communities with the most Ashley Madison users is below.)

A data collection has identified the numbers of users in each county, and each state in the United States, putting those towns on a map called “Malfideleco,” which means “infidelity” in the Esperanto language.

Tecnilógica, a Madrid-based digital agency, created the world map that shows the distribution of Ashley Madison users around the world without identifying names. It also analyzed their composition in terms of gender balance.

The revelations go back more than a month, when a group of hackers called The Impact Team broke into Ashley Madison’s data, obtaining names and personal information — credit card info, sexual habits, likes and desires and such.

Some have targeted the hackers and the company, looking to punish them both for the data breach. The Canadian government, where Ashley Madison is located, said it is investigating two suicides possibly related to the hack, and some attorneys who have filed $578 million class action lawsuit against the company.

Ashley Madison is offering a $500,000 reward for information leading to the capture of the people involved in the hack.

Here is the top 10 Bucks County communities identified as having the most Ashley Madison users:

  1. Levittown: 6,591
  2. Doylestown: 4,166
  3. Bensalem: 3,550
  4. Warminster: 2,262
  5. Quakertown: 2,197
  6. Perkasie: 1,174
  7. Chalfont 858
  8. Fairless Hills: 690
  9. Bedminster: 678
  10. Richboro: 523
