The Ashley Madison hack could wreck millions of marriages, but as usual internet users not caught up in the scandal can still see the funny side.

The names, ages, addresses, phone numbers, credit card details and sexual fantasies of up to 37million users including 1.2million in the UK were revealed by hackers yesterday.

Twitter has been flooded with memes poking fun at sweating husbands fearing they will be caught and gleeful divorce lawyers who may make money from their infidelity.

As a result others suggested that Ashley Madison should change its motto from 'Life is short. Have an affair' to 'life is short. Hire an attorney'. 

Here are the best of the online memes:
