AshleyMadison.com is a website designed to facilitate extramarital affairs and this episode explores the controversy surrounding this taboo website as well as data security in the modern age. We learn the website created "fembots" (bot-run female profiles) to keep the website appealing to their predominantly male user base. We also learn about many other shady business dealings of the website made public by a 2015 hack.
