"Recent media reports predicting the imminent demise of Ashley Madison are greatly exaggerated," parent company Avid Life Media said in a statement on its site. "The company continues its day-to-day operations even as it deals with the theft of its private data by criminal hackers."

And, according to the company, "this past week alone, hundreds of thousands of new users signed up for the Ashley Madison platform—including 87,596 women." Don't forget, the company says, we're number one when it comes to "real people seeking discreet encounters."

But Avid Life Media doesn't stop there. It seems especially keen on responding to claims from journalists (including us) that there weren't all that many women on the site—and certainly not active ones.
