Ashley Madison Says It Added 4 Million Members Since the Hack (cnn.com)

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-shame dept.

New submitter fardindany writes with news that the months-old Ashley Madison hack seems to have had little impact on new users joining up. CNN reports: "Despite the infamous hack that exposed millions of cheaters online, infidelity dating site Ashley Madison says its ranks are growing. At the time of the hack, Ashley Madison said it had 39 million members. The website now says it has more than 43 million members, according to a rolling count on its homepage."

    It's worth noting that while 50% of all marriages end in divorce, most people who get married stay married. The stat gets skewed by the fact that many who get divorced will marry and get divorced again.

    Imagine 12 men and 12 women. Eight couples get married and stay married. That's eight marriages that don't end in divorce. The other four men and four women all get married and divorced three times. That's 12 marriages that do end in divorce. Therefore the majority of marriages end in divorce (12 to 8), but the majority of people stay married (16 to 8).
