Hi Concerned g-villager,
2 suicides are being linked to hack of the Ashley Madison porn website, and C $500,00.00 being
offered for information on the hackers.
Have Your Say - excerpt:
Ashley Madison's Canadian parent company Avid Life Media is offering a C$500,000 (£240,000) reward for information on the hackers.
Details of more than 33m accounts were stolen from the website, which offers users the chance to have an affair.
Addressing the hackers, known as The Impact Team, acting staff superintendent Bryce Evans of the Toronto police said:
"I want to make it very clear to you your actions are illegal and we will not be tolerating them. This is your wake-up call."
Police are seeking information from members of the wider hacker community that might aid their investigation.
The breach was "very sophisticated", said Detective Menard from the technological crime unit of Toronto Police.
Cash reward
Mr Evans confirmed that credit card data was included in the original data dump released by The Impact Team.
He said that investigators believed this was limited to the last four digits of the main credit card number.
Consequently, police are advising victims of the hack to review their accounts.
He also explained that the hack had already led to a series of "spin-offs of crimes and further victimization".
"Criminals have already engaged in online scams by claiming to provide access to the leaked websites," he said.
"The public needs to be aware that by clicking on these links you are exposing your computers to malware, spyware, adware and viruses."
Police have set up a Twitter account, @AMCaseTPS, and hashtag, #AMCaseTPS...
Peace:
People, stop cheating! on your spouses and if u do,
DON'T commit sucide. U can always be forgiven, or
at worse only divorced. To the souls departed, R.I.P.
