[Narrator] Ashley Madison is a website

that advertises, life is short, have an affair.

Recently it was hacked, exposing

37 million adulterous email addresses to the world.

The saddest user name, whosyourdaddy69,

the saddest password, lovehurts.

Only three zip cods in the entire United States

have no Ashley Madison accounts.

So did everyone get the affair of their dreams?

Well, the hack reveals than an overwhelming 86%

of users were male, 31 million men to 5.5 million women.

But Gizmodo discovered that 70,000 of those women

were actually fake accounts,

created and operated by Ashley Madison.

They sent 20 million messages to men

and engaged 11 million male user in chat,

because if men thought they were getting somewhere

with a woman, they'd keep paying to use the site.

Where are the cheating women

if they're not on Ashley Madison?

Maybe tinder, 30% of users are married

and nearly 40% of them are female.

But back to the hack.

Thoughtfully looking after user privacy,

Ashley Madison offered

a full account deletion service for only $19.

In 2014 alone, Ashley Madison netted 1.7 million

in revenue from this full delete promise.

But a total of 185,946 email addresses

found in the hack were listed as paid delete.

So they were still on Ashley Madison servers,

and didn't really get deleted.

People are pissed and feeling exposed.

The whole mess has revealed an interesting side

of modern relationships, mainly,

that a lot of married people

aren't as satisfied as they seem.

Yet among millenials, 88% of women

and 77% of men think that flirting online is cheating,

and unsurprisingly, a third of divorces in recent years

name online cheating as a culprit.

So it's not like people are OK with it,

even if they are doing it all the time.

So what do you think?

Is it cheating to sign up for Ashley Madison,

even if you never actually meet up with someone?

And if you were one of the unlucky users

exposed in the hack, well, maybe next time,

don't use your actual email address.
