Ashley Madison Review
https://www.ashleymadison.com/
Ashley Madison was developed by Canadian creator Darren J. Morgenstern in 2002. Now the service is owned by Ruby Corp which is a media company.
Ashley Madison is a specialized dating service and a social networking service for matching married people to have affairs.
Nowadays, the service is expanded worldwide; offering its service in multiple languages: European, Middle Eastern and Asian.
During nearly 20 years of its operation, the service went through scandals such as being hacked and leakage of their member details in public. Amongst those details, there were details of members who paid Ashley Madison to delete their accounts. This made things worse.
Moreover, their bot operation to attract more male members was relieved by an ex-employee. They had to publicly announce to withdraw from their bot operation.
After those scandals, they rebrand themselves; however, now they are back to their original brand image and motto. “Life is short. Have an affair”
Post Covid 19, Ashley Madison is reported to gain more members by major newspapers.

Ashley Madison Verdict
Ashley Madison is a no doubt questionable service; people need to be extra cautious when they sign up. It is wise to have a brand new email address to do so.
It is very interesting to see that there is a lot of media coverage about Ashley Madison even after the scandal in 2015. Even major newspapers are still writing about their service or mentioning their names in their articles in an almost positive way to promote the service.
For male members, this service is very costly. They can not do anything without buying credits. However, to buy credits, people need to put in their credit card’s details. This is very risky due to the past hacking scandal.
Ashley Madison is still heavily linked with having affairs thus those people who would be looking for discreet affairs should not give credit card details to them because they could be hacked again. Again, female members can use this service free of charge.
However, it would be less risky for people who are single but looking for married people to have affairs or/and other single members to have a fling. There are some females who are looking for this. But there are a lot of negative reviews stating that there are a lot of fake (female) accounts on Ashley Madison.
Ashley Madison is promoting female sexuality and females to be in charge. This is a global trend.
