Abstract

The article focuses on a new Netflix documentary series, *Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal*, which examines the aftermath of the 2015 hack of Ashley Madison, a website targeting married individuals seeking affairs. The series features interviews with former users and their families, revealing diverse experiences ranging from marriages strengthened by openness to devastating consequences, including a suicide linked to public exposure. It also uncovers that many male users interacted with fake profiles or bots created by Ashley Madison staff to engage them. Despite the hack, Ashley Madison continues to operate with over 70 million users, while the company and its former CEO declined to comment on the documentary's claims.
