Krebs OnSecurity in Upcoming Hulu Series on Ashley Madison Breach
Summary: KrebsOnSecurity reports it will appear in a Hulu documentary series, tentatively titled "The Ashley Madison Affair," produced by ABC News Studios and Wall to Wall Media and slated for release in late Spring 2023. The series covers the July 19, 2015 leak by The Impact Team, which published more than 60 gigabytes of Ashley Madison data including user names, home addresses, search history, and credit card transaction records, leading to public shaming, extortion, and at least two suicides.
Why it matters: The breach drove at least two people to suicide and left an unsolved question of who was responsible, and the producers' previously unseen leads prompted Krebs to spend several weeks on a collaborative investigation whose findings he is withholding until release.
