What is the Ashley Madison agency?

Ashley Madison is an online dating service and social networking service marketed to people who are married or in relationships. It was launched in 2001, and its name derives from the two popular female names in North America, "Ashley" and "Madison." The platform is known for encouraging extramarital affairs and has branded itself as a discreet means for individuals to engage in relationships outside of their current ones. Although the website has received significant criticism for promoting infidelity, it continues to operate and claims to have a wide user base. The service suffered a considerable setback in 2015 when it was the subject of a high-profile data breach that exposed personal information of users, raising questions about privacy and cybersecurity.
