Despite the summer 2015 hack that destroyed lives and led to suicides, Ashley Madison is up and running and it has recently unveiled a new security feature that seeks to keep its users anonymous and farther from the word “busted.”
CNNMoney says that the tool lets users pick from two different masks, a black bar that covers the eyes, or four variations of blurring. The tool also uses face recognition software to determine where the mask will be placed on the photo.
Ashley Madison’s website says, “We respect your need for discretion so we’ve added some tools to keep your identity a secret. Upload a new photo and you will have the option to crop it and add a mask.”
The tool seems to be part of the adultery site’s efforts to give members a deeper sense of security following the major hack last summer.
The site continues and seems to be thriving, with Ashley Madison now boasting 43 million members.
