Ashley Madison, the notorious dating website that reveled in its controversial image, had millions of people sweating in 2015 when it was revealed that its user list had been hacked. The rise of the popular online dating site, which facilitates extramarital affairs, and the fallout from the hack are the subject of the new Netflix documentary series 'Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal,' which starts streaming on Wednesday, May 15.
The series also depicts how the company brought in cyber security experts and law enforcement agents to help crack the identity of The Impact Team — with little success. What was the fallout from the Ashley Madison hack? Journalists and curious members of the public began combing through the list of clients in search of familiar names. Some users also reported being contacted by extortionists who wanted payment for not releasing their personal information.
