'Whether they were two-timing or not, the millions who signed up for the service were looking for something (companionship, love, kinky pleasures) that they weren’t getting from their spouses, and they generally sought it out in secret,' writes nschager
Stefany Phillips still remembers the exact date—Dec. 27, 2014—that she received a phone call from a woman who had been engaged in an 18-month affair with her husband of seven and a half years. That level of memory detail speaks to the Earth-shattering trauma of infidelity, and in the case of Stefany and countless others it was facilitated by AshleyMadison.com, the infamous website that connects would-be cheaters.
Indicative of its “creepy” nature, Ashley Madison got its moniker from 2002’s two most popular baby girl names, and from January to August of that first year of operation, it grew its subscriber base from 60,000 to 550,000 members. It was a godsend to the unfaithful segments of the population, who no longer had to pretend to be single on traditional dating sites in order to cheat on their spouses.
Regardless of that notion’s veracity, Ashley Madison did gangbusters business and, in the process, became a well-known part of the culture. For the wrong reasons, its profile grew even larger in 2015 when a hacker collective known as the Impact Team informed the company that it would release all of its proprietary data if it didn’t shut down within 30 days.
Biderman’s own emails were also leaked, and they not only proved that he had known about the fembot scam, but also that he’d been less than monogamous in his own marriage. Lawsuits followed, albeit to little avail; the penalties that Ashley Madison incurred were a pittance when compared to the site’s success. In the wake of the hacking, Biderman was compelled to resign by parent firm Avid Life Media.
