The website has been widely condemned for being a "business built on the back of broken hearts", and is also believed to lie about the size of its userbase by "creating fake accounts, or not stopping others from creating fake accounts".
Ashley Madison gained notoriety in 2015 when it was subject to a data breach and the personal information of millions of users was released to the public.
