CANADA:The hack of adultery website Ashley Madison has triggered extortion crimes and led to two unconfirmed reports of suicides, according to Canadian police.
The Toronto-based firm behind Ashley Madison is offering a £240,677 reward for information leading to the arrest of members of a group that hacked the site.
Hackers last week released records on millions of people registered with the site, whose slogan is: “Life is short. Have an affair”.
