Massive adultery website hack may have led to suicides
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe hack of the cheating website Ashley Madison has triggered extortion crimes and led to two unconfirmed reports of suicides, Canadian police say.
The company behind Ashley Madison is offering a CAD $500,000 (US $378,000) reward for information leading to the arrest of members of a group that hacked the site.
Hackers last week release detailed records on millions of people registered with the website, a month after a break-in at Ashley Madison’s parent company, Toronto-based Avid Life Media Inc. The website, whose slogan is, “Life is short. Have an affair,” is marketed to facilitate extramarital affairs.
Toronto Police acting staff-Supt. Bryce Evans said the hack is having an “enormous social and economic fallout.”
