As for the major breach of privacy the site's members endured this past week, the company says they are working on it.
"We are actively adjusting to the attack on our business and members’ privacy by criminals," the statement notes. "We will continue to provide access to our unique platforms for our worldwide members. We are actively cooperating with international law enforcement in an effort to bring those responsible for the theft of proprietary member and business information to justice."

Two family members of Josh's spoke to ET exclusively about his recent decision to seek professional help.
"Josh’s integrity is gone," one member of the Duggar family said. "It’s scary. You never know who can have a double life. You really think you know someone. Josh was caught with his hand in the cookie jar and I hope he gets broken in rehab and gets the help he needs. I hope [Josh's wife] Anna finds the strength to make some changes."
