What is the leaked Ashley Madison user list?

The leaked Ashley Madison user list refers to a major security breach that occurred in July 2015, when a group of hackers known as "The Impact Team" infiltrated the databases of Ashley Madison, a dating website marketed to people looking for extramarital relationships. The hackers gained access to personal and confidential information of millions of users, including names, email addresses, credit card details, and account information. In August 2015, they released this data onto the dark web and made it accessible through various torrent sites, creating a scandal and prompting widespread concerns over privacy and internet security. This incident not only exposed individuals to personal compromises but also sparked debates about cyber ethics and the implications of infidelity in the digital age.
