QUESTION
What happened to the CEO of Ashley Madison?
ANSWER
In 2015, following a highly publicized cyber-attack on Ashley Madison—a website known for facilitating extramarital affairs—the CEO at the time, Noel Biderman, stepped down from his position. The hack resulted in the personal information of millions of users being leaked online, leading to widespread privacy concerns and reports of extortion attempts. The breach had significant repercussions for both users and the company, resulting in multiple lawsuits and a substantial blow to the website's reputation. In the aftermath of the scandal and facing mounting pressure, Biderman's departure was seen as an attempt by parent company Avid Life Media (now renamed Ruby Corporation) to rehabilitate its image and recover from the incident.
