Ashley Madison is back — and claims surprising user numbers
Modal Trigger
Not only is the disgraced hookup site for cheating spouses mounting a comeback, it’s claiming some hard-to-believe numbers when it comes to new users — upwards of 400,000 a month worldwide, a company spokesman told The Post.
That’s despite a July 2015 data breach that exposed the names, addresses and sexual preferences of countless adulterers — sending subscribers fleeing and bringing Ashley Madison’s parent company, Avid Life Media, to its knees.
“We’re back, we’re excited and our opportunities are significant,” says Paul Keable, VP of communications for the site’s new corporate parent, Ruby Life.
Ashley Madison claims it has now signed up a total of 52.7 million (2018 NOW OVER 55 MILLION) users since its founding 15 years ago. That’s up a whopping 50 percent from the 36 million it claimed a little less than two years ago at the time of the cyberattack from “The Impact Team” hacking group.
It also would imply that the average monthly signup rate since the hack has been north of 750,000 — a huge number by the standards of most any dating app these days.
Your math is accurate,” Keable says. “In the summer of 2015 we experienced unprecedented media coverage of our business” — and unprecedented signups despite the hacking scare, according to Keable.
“Our monthly new member account additions have not been verified by a third party, but we stand behind them,” Keable insists.
Nevertheless, Ashley Madison is less than forthcoming when asked how many of those who signed up are still using the site — much less paying to use it.
“We don’t divulge active member numbers for competitive reasons,” Keable says.

The spokesman also wouldn’t reveal financials, citing the private status of the company, which in 2015 had been eyeing a potential public stock offering that it said could value the company at more than $1 billion.
Still, Keable said he “would have no reason to disavow” comments from the former parent company’s ex-president, who told Reuters last July the company was on track to produce sales of $80 million in 2016, with an Ebitda margin between 35 percent and 40 percent. That’s after revenue of $109 million in 2015.
Ashley Madison makes money by charging credits to members to start conversations on the site, typically for under $2.
Most of those payments presumably come from men. Still, Ashley Madison is making loud claims about one stat in particular: a 1-to-1 ratio of signups by women and men in New York City. That ratio falls off a bit, to 1.4 men for every woman signing up across the rest of the country, Keable said.
Either of these ratios might be hard to swallow for some in light of Ashley Madison’s past, when the site got a reputation for suckering horny husbands into online chats with prostitutes and robots — because it couldn’t get real women to sign up.
Keable admits to Ashley Madison’s having once used bots, while insisting that the practice is “a relic left over” from the site’s previous owner, Avid Life Media.
“We shut down bots in the USA and Canada in 2014 and in Australia in early 2015,” he says. “We then had Ernst & Young come in and certify there’s no remnants of the program whatsoever.”
