Two Individuals Exposed in Ashley Madison Hack Commit Suicide

Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

Two individuals connected to the release of users of the adultery website Ashley Madison have taken their own lives.

Police in Toronto would not release the names of the individuals and would not release information other than their connection to the release of Ashley Madison info.

“This hack is one of the largest data breaches in the world,” Toronto Police acting staff-Supt. Bryce Evans said. “This is affecting all of us. The social impact behind this leak, we’re talking about families, we’re talking about children, we’re talking about wives, their male partners.”

The shocking news was actually predicted last week by a security analyst that first reported the hacking of Ashley Madison and the release of the names of those who paid to try and have an affair.

“There’s a very real chance that people are going to overreact. I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw people taking their lives because of this, and obviously piling on with ridicule and trying to out people is not gonna help the situation,” analyst Brian Krebs said on Wednesday.

Another suicide has been potentially linked to the breach.  An employee of the city of San Antonio committed suicide Thursday, but officials would not confirm it was because of the leak.

The company that owns Ashley Madison is offering a $500,000 reward to anyone who will turn in the hackers that revealed their adultery seeking clientele.
