In the wake of a major data breach, Noel Biderman, the CEO of the adultery website Ashley Madison, has stepped down.

Biderman is ending his relationship with the extramarital affairs website he founded 14 years ago.

The news comes just weeks after a devastating data breach that leaked the names of millions of users of the infidelity site. A third leak of emails has also surfaced, and there are suggestions Biderman had affairs himself, despite previous denials.

Avid Life media released a statement this morning saying that Ashley Madison and Biderman both agreed he should step down.

Avid Life media says an existing senior management team will lead the operations until a replacement for Biderman is found. And the company is working with law enforcement to find those responsible for the hack.
