A warning was shared in 2015 threatening the firm that they would release company and customer data unless the site was shut down within a 30 day window.
Multiple people were exposed when the sites were not shut down with emails and personal data being released – and now a TV show wants to speak to victims of the incident.

Minnow Films released a statement requesting victims to get in touch to speak about the breach.
They wrote: “Were you or anyone you know a victim of the breach? Are you the partner of someone who was discovered to be on Ashley Madison?
“Minnow Films a multi award-winning production company renowned for making thought-provoking, sensitive and bold documentaries are making a documentary series for a global streaming platform about the Ashley Madison data hack.”
They said they were looking to speak to people who were victims of the hack or who were impacted by the data breach.
They added: “We want to tell the real story from those most affected.”
It was confirmed that all conversations would be confidential and anyone who wished to do so could speak to the team anonymously about your experience of the hack.

People who were signed up to the site saw their information leaked throughout 2015 with blackmail threats and a whopping lawsuit against the company.
At the time of the hack Ashley Madison had an international membership of 37.6 million users, with those signed up to the site assured that their use of the service would be “anonymous and 100% discreet”.
A group called The Impact Team took responsibility for the hack and threatened to leak a full database of customers, past and present, in the space of a month.
The site still exists today and now hosts more female users than male online.
