"The new docuseries produced by ABC News Studios and Wall to
Wall Media is tentatively titled, "The Ashley Madison Affair,"
and is slated for release on Hulu in late Spring 2023. Wall to
Wall Media is part of the Warner Bros. International Television
Production group.

"Featuring exclusive footage and untold firsthand interviews
from those involved, the series will explore infidelity,
morality, cyber-shaming and blackmail and tell the story of
ordinary people with big secrets and a mystery that remains
unsolved to this day," reads a Jan. 12, 2023 scoop from The
Wrap.

"There are several other studios pursuing documentaries on the
Ashley Madison breach, and it's not hard to see why. On July
19, 2015, a hacker group calling itself The Impact Team leaked
Ashley Madison internal company data, and announced it would
leak all user data in a month unless Ashley Madison voluntarily
shut down before then.

"A month later, The Impact Team published more than 60
gigabytes of data, including user names, home addresses, search
history, and credit card transaction records. The leak led to
the public shaming and extortion of many Ashley Madison users,
and to at least two suicides. It's impossible to say how many
users lost their jobs or marriages as a result of the breach.
