The Ashley Madison story continues to get lots of coverage in the media.  One would think it is impossible for a company to recover from such a disastrous situation – a company that promises to assist you in having affairs and keep your information confidential, but then has everything leaked on the Internet because obviously their security was not up to scratch.  They are however trying all the usual PR tactics to try and convince everyone that things are going well – and of course the first step is always to fire the CEO and they have done that. Since the departure of the CEO, Noel Biderman, they also issued a press release saying that hundreds of thousands of new users are signing up for the site.  Because of the criticism that there are not many women on the site they even specified that  87 596 new women had just signed up on the site.  One of the problems that they have in this regard is that because their database has been put online by the hackers, everyone can get the information now of over 31 million male accounts and only 5,5 million female accounts but whereas apparently 20 million of the male accounts had checked their Ashley Madison messages at least once since after signing up, only 2,4 million women have.  It seems like a lot of people join up on the service, but then never ever send a message or actually use it.  If you are a man on the site, the statistics are indicating that basically every 10 men are fighting for the attention of one woman and one would think with that being publicised more widely that that too will lead to the demise of this company.  I would imagine that the next step, but not right now, is for a sale of the company and a change of name for the website.
