Ashley Madison $11.2 million settlement: Adultery website users eligible for up to $3,000

[TexasTowelie]

The owner of the Ashley Madison website will pay $11.2 million to settle litigation related to a 2015 data breach that exposed information on millions of users.

Ruby Life Inc., formerly known as Avid Dating Life Inc., will pay the money to settle a class-action lawsuit brought on behalf of 37 million users of the adultery website. The money will go to affected users, with up to $3,500 paid to those with multiple accounts and proper documentation.

Any money not claimed will be donated to charity.

The suit against Ruby Life alleged inadequate data security practices and misrepresentations by the company. Ashley Madison marketed itself as a means to help men cheat on their spouses, using the slogan "Life is short. Have an affair."
