“Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies and Scandal” is the new original production by Netflix that has managed to enter the list of the most successful documentaries on the streaming platform, occupying the Top 1 position.
Flix Patrol, the site specialized in services and metrics, has earned a place in the Top 10 worldwide and in the United States, taking the podium from other mega-popular series, such as “Baby Reindeer” and “The Roast of Tom Brady”.
What is the real story behind the Netflix docu-series?
The true story behind it dates back to the year 2015 when Ashley Madison, an online dating website designed for married individuals or those in committed relationships seeking extramarital affairs, suffered a serious cyberattack.
Hackers, who identified themselves as “The Impact Team”, managed to access the site’s database and stole confidential information from millions of users, including names, email addresses, credit card details and sexual preferences.
This incident resulted in one of the largest data breaches in history and caused a major scandal worldwide. The exposure of users’ personal information led to divorces, job losses and even some cases of suicide.
