Possible Ashley Madison suicides


Fortune has an article by John Chu about fallout from the Ashley Madison debacle:
Toronto, Canada police are looking into two suicide reports with possible ties to the Ashley Madison hacking scandal, law enforcement officials said at recent news conference. Toronto Police Superintendent Bryce Evans said details about both cases remain sparse. He added that the police’s investigation would be directed at finding the hackers responsible for leaking more than thirty million email addresses and credit card numbers from Ashley Madison, a Canada-based website that helps married men and women arrange affairs.
“Your actions are illegal and will not be tolerated,” said Evans. “This is your wake up call.” Evans also announced that Ashley Madison parent company, Avid Life Media, is offering a half-million-dollar reward to anyone providing information that leads to the arrest of the hackers. The hackers may be well outside the jurisdiction of Canadian police.
Rico says he'd say it serves them right, but suicide is a little excessive...
