Arkansas to get nearly $53,000 in Ashley Madison settlement

     (AP) – Arkansas’ attorney general says the state will receive

nearly $53,000 in a settlement with the owner of the Ashley Madison adultery

dating website.

     The agreement is part of a $1.6 million settlement that will be paid to 13

states and the District of Columbia following an investigation led by the U.S.

Federal Trade Commission into a massive breach of the company’s computer systems

and the outing of millions of its members. Ashley Madison is owned by

Toronto-based Ruby Corp.

     Hackers breached the company’s systems in July 2015 and then posted the

information online a month later after the company didn’t comply with their

demands to shut down Ashley Madison.
