Is Ashley Madison still operating as a website?

Yes, Ashley Madison continues to operate as a website catering to individuals seeking extramarital affairs or discreet relationships. Founded in 2001 by Darren Morgenstern, the site gained notoriety for its slogan "Life is short. Have an affair." Despite experiencing a significant data breach in 2015, which compromised user information, Ashley Madison managed to recover and reported growing membership numbers in subsequent years. The company has since implemented enhanced security measures and shifted its marketing approach slightly but remains committed to its original service niche, providing a platform for private encounters.
