About this listen

This program contains sexual content and occasional adult language. An episode also includes mentions of suicide. Please keep that in mind when choosing when and where to listen.

Millions of people–looking to cheat on their partners–signed up for Ashley Madison in the early 2000s, seeking a private space to share their public desires. The promise of discretion was shattered in the summer of 2015, when anonymous hackers stole the company’s cache of user information and published it worldwide. The result? One of the most shocking data breaches of the internet age. Overnight, millions of unfaithful spouses had their real names, addresses and sexual preferences published online in a searchable database that anyone could browse. Presented by acclaimed actress Sophie Nélisse, told through the dramatic stories of those who were caught up in the hack, and from experts who put it all into the context of our rapidly changing internet culture, Exposed: The Ashley Madison Hack serves as a cautionary tale for anyone whose secrets live in the cloud–and what happens when trust is broken both online and in the real world.

What stood out to me the most is the writing, narration and the thorough research that went into creating this podcasts

It’s great to finally hear factual information about the Ashely Madison leak — an infamous story heard around the world.
The many media outlets who based their reporting on nothing but speculation, “facts” gathered from other media sources, and exaggerating their sensationalized gossip to use as clickbait & increase sales,
The thoroughly fact-checked research that went into making this podcast is great, and debunked a lot of reported misconceptions I once believed to be true.
A great listen!

Interesting

Good book, but you need to add it to Goodreads. It’s frustrating that this won’t technically count toward my 2024 reading goal.

Great audio book

Loved the different narrators andnews clips. It was a super interesting topic ans loved the different stories it followed and how many outcomes they were. The book didn’t feel bias to any side.

Both sides of the story

Very interesting to hear what happened and why. Never really knew much about this hack beforehand. Definitely a user beware on this one.
