Ashley Madison

Ashley Madison is a dating service and website that targets individuals seeking extramarital affairs. Launched in 2001, it caters to people looking for discreet, non-committed relationships while maintaining privacy. The platform emphasizes anonymity, allowing users to connect with others who share similar interests in casual encounters. It gained significant media attention in 2015 due to a data breach that exposed users' personal information, raising concerns about privacy and ethical considerations surrounding infidelity. Despite the controversy, Ashley Madison continues to operate, reflecting the complexities of modern relationships and the diverse motivations for online dating.
