The enormous data leak from the Ashley Madison infidelity dating website has not stopped people joining the service. Hundreds of thousands of new members joined the website last week. Details of more than 33 million accounts were stolen from the website and published online in August. But, the site is ‘still growing’.

The concept of Ashley Madison with a Tagline of “Life Is Short. Have An Affair” is something unique and sinful as it propagates extra marital affairs. The website was launched in 2001, and as of now, it has around 37 million users. Out of 37 million users, only 5.5 million accounts belong to women, and almost none of them ever sent any message to any male prospect!
