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

The police have just held a news conference about the Ashley Madison investigation at Toronto Police Headquarters.

“Today I can confirm that Avid Life Media is offering a $500,000 (£241,065) reward to anyone providing information that leads to the identification, arrest and prosecution of the person or persons responsible for the leak of the Ashley Madison database,” said acting staff superintendent Bryce Evans.

Mr Evans detailed the development of the hack, from the moment on 12 July when Avid Life Media employees logged in to their computers and were confronted by a message from the hackers, known as The Impact Team.

The message was accompanied by music – AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck”, said Mr Evans.

“This hack is one of the largest data breaches in the world and is very unique on its own in that it exposed tens of millions of people’s personal information,” he added.
