In spite of being hacked and having its data files made public, Ashley Madison has acquired 4 million new members.
"Despite having our business and customers attacked, we are growing," Avid Life Media said in a statement at the time, adding that "hundreds of thousands of new users" signed up for the site during the last week of August alone, including 87,596 women.
The fallout from the breach included an ousted CEO, about a dozen lawsuits, broken marriages, and a major PR crisis for the Duggar family of TLC's 19 Kids and Counting.
Vigilantes known as the Impact Team hacked into the Ashley Madison site, stole its user database, posted it online, and made it easily searchable. I guess even bad publicity is good publicity.
