TORONTO (Reuters) - At least two people may have committed suicide following the hacking of the Ashley Madison cheating website, Toronto police said on Monday, warning of a ripple effect that includes scams and extortion of clients desperate to stop the exposure of their infidelity.

Avid Life Media Inc, the parent company of the website, is offering a C$500,000 ($379,132) reward to catch the hackers.

In addition to the exposure of the Ashley Madison accounts of as many as 37 million users, the attack on the dating website for married people has sparked extortion attempts and at least two unconfirmed suicides, Toronto Police Acting Staff Superintendent Bryce Evans told a news conference.

How do you "may have" kill yourself. Weirdly vague IMO.

You mean the evil genius who spent six grand setting up a stranger with an Ashley Madison account on the whim that it might be leaked one day?

That is one malicious dude.

Why kill yourself over being exposed?
Just divorce and be done with it.

Unless they are preachers or the like.

How much do they make a year?

They knew their members would be exposed. They ignored the threats despite their knowledge that this would happen.

So now, after people are dying after poor decisions, decisions only made public after this "anonymous" site allowed their information to be made public, they they are offering a reward? They created this den of sin.

AM could have shut down the site and all of this would have been avoided.

This may be a stupid question, but here goes anyway....

While using AM, was there an option to say you were single and seeking other singles? I guess what I mean, is did it function like other online dating sites too?
