Ashely Madison is a dating website for consumers interested in conducting extra-marital affairs. 

The FTC complaint alleged that they engaged in unfair and deceptive practices because, despite their claim that they had implemented reasonable measures to ensure AshleyMadison.com was secure, they failed to implement measures to secure consumer information on their network, such as by failing to ensure their service provides implemented appropriate security measures, failing to have a written information security policy, and failing to implement access controls, allowing hackers to access the Ashely Madison network, exfiltrate consumer information, and publish the personal information of more than 36 million consumers.
