A major milestone has been reached in the wake of the massive Ashley Madison data breach, which exposed the personal details of millions of users. Avid Life Media, the parent company of the notorious infidelity website, has agreed to pay up to $11.2 million to settle a series of class-action lawsuits in the United States. The settlement is a significant development in the aftermath of the 2015 hack, which compromised the sensitive information of over 36 million users. The lawsuit alleged that the company failed to protect users' data and engaged in deceptive business practices, including charging customers for services they did not receive.
