Caught: The Ashley Madison Data Breach and the Unmasking of America's Secret Lives From Josh Duggar to Washington Insiders

When 32 million people's darkest secrets exploded across the internet, the world watched marriages crumble, careers end, and lives lost. This is the story of the hack that changed everything.

On July 15, 2015, Ashley Madison-the world's premier adultery website-received a chilling message: shut down or watch 32 million users exposed. The company refused. Three weeks later, the data went public.

Reality TV star Josh Duggar. Pentagon officials. Canadian government employees. Pastors, priests, and family values advocates. Washington insiders. YouTube family vloggers. All caught. All exposed. All desperate.

CAUGHT delivers the explosive true story of the most consequential data breach in history-a cyber attack that destroyed a billion-dollar empire, sparked an international manhunt, triggered suicides and divorces worldwide, and forced a global conversation about digital privacy, infidelity, and whether anyone truly deserves to have their secrets protected.

From the rise of Ashley Madison's "have an affair" empire to the mysterious Impact Team's vigilante justice, from the technical sophistication of the hack to the human wreckage it left behind, investigative author David G. Stone reconstructs every detail of a scandal that proved one undeniable truth: in the digital age, your secrets are never truly safe.

The hack was devastating. The exposure was global. The consequences are still unfolding.

For readers of true crime, cybersecurity thrillers, and anyone who's ever wondered what happens when the internet becomes judge, jury, and executioner.
