What are the statistics on infidelity from the Ashley Madison data breach?

The Ashley Madison data breach in July 2015 revealed a wealth of information about the infidelity website's user base. Analysis of the exposed data indicated that the site had approximately 32 million accounts. However, discrepancies existed regarding the gender distribution and activity levels of these accounts. Reports suggested that many female profiles may have been inactive or possibly fabricated; a statistic indicated that only around 15% of the user profiles belonged to actual women. The breach also uncovered patterns of infidelity, with evidence suggesting that men outnumbered women on the site at least five to one. Payment records showed that thousands had spent money on the platform, with users spanning across many countries, illustrating the global reach of the website. The aftermath of the breach saw extensive scrutiny of Ashley Madison’s practices, raising questions regarding privacy, security, and the demographics of individuals seeking extramarital affairs.
