Ashley Madison’s Penalty For Exposing Details On 36 Million Users? About $.04 Per Person
In 2015, a major data breach at AshleyMadison.com — the dating site targeted at cheaters — exposed information for some 36 million accounts. The company has now entered into a deal that settles federal and state charges that Ashley Madison: misled users about data security and failed to protect user information; charged users to delete profiles (but didn’t); and used fake profiles to lure in customers. While the settlement has a price tag of $8.75 million, Ashley Madison will actually pay significantly less than that.

Wow, I thought all those hot women with profiles in Salisbury were real!
Honey, I have good news and bad news.... Bad news....I cheated.....good news... We're rich!!
The sad fact is at any given time in our society, 36 million of us are cheating on our spouses.
Very sad.
How many marriages were wrecked as a result of this?!
That's the real cost!
Lawmakers were reluctant to levy a higher fine- worried their name might pop up...
Ashley Madison shouldn't even exsist. How the f&@k do we condone these websites? Let alone stoop so low as to use them.
