Early Tuesday morning, Reuters broke the news headlines that AvidLife Media, the parent business of affair-driven dating/hookup website Ashley Madison, is undergoing a probe by the United States government Trade Commission. While AvidLife formally “said it does not understand focus of its very own FTC study,” it’s fairly easy to figure out precisely what is at problems right here.
About a year ago, in July 2015, Ashley Madison got hacked by friends known as The effects teams. The hackers proceeded to jeopardize to leak the site’s visitors number if AvidLife mass media didn’t closed both Ashley Madison and cousin site Founded Males, which theoretically linked younger “sugar kids” girls with old, wealthier, “sugar father” boys.
