'Suicides' over Ashley Madison hack
BBC ^ | 8/24/2015 | staff

Posted on 08/24/2015 8:25:05 AM PDT by Excuse_My_Bellicosity

Two Ashley Madison clients are reported to have taken their lives after hackers published their details according to police in Canada.

The force held a news conference today about their investigation into the website hack at Toronto Police Headquarters.

Ashley Madison's parent company Avid Life Media is offering a $500,000 (£240,000) reward for information leading to the arrest of the hackers.

"As of this morning we have two unconfirmed reports of suicides associated with the leak of Ashley Madison's customers' profiles," said acting staff superintendent Bryce Evans.

Get a pot of hot, sexy dirt - throw in some spices (extract of money, cars, booze, women), bring it to a boil and couple it with the nearest thing you can allege to personal injury or distress, and then open the windows and let the vapors waft out into the ether. It is guaranteed that’s gonna attract some contingent lawyer who’s gonna make it all better.

I suspected that we’d be seeing a lot of suicides over this. Bob

Well why don’t you WAIT until you get confirmation before reporting this?

Kind of irresponsible the way I see it.

I don’t mean you, EMB, I mean the BBC.

I read it over and it could be understood that I was referring to you.

Sorry for not being more clear.

Two suicides out of 38 million is far less than I expected.

So was this little piece of a** worth it? Let this be a cautionary tale for anybody who considers this kind of hobby.

Sad, very sad.

Extreme embarrassment is painful but survivable. Mistake free lives are not the norm.

Exactly. These aren’t suicides over the “Ashley Madison hack.” They are suicides over getting caught having an affair.

Our entire culture is geared toward not making people take responsibility for their actions. So these Ashley Madison users use the site to have affairs, have one-night-stands or pick up hookers and then when their names are leaked, the media plays it up as if the hackers are the problem.

Hmmm. Blaming the hackers. There wouldn't be a leak of customer data if you had no customers. You wouldn't have any customers if people kept to their vows.

There's a point in there somewhere, I just think they're missing it.

“Two suicides out of 38 million is far less than I expected.”

It hasn’t been that long and 99.9% of the public has no idea how to search the databases by name.

When someone puts up a site where these names can be searched, cheaters will start dropping like flies
