Two unconfirmed suicides linked to Ashley Madison hack: Toronto Police

Toronto Police are expected to address the Ashley Madison hack in a news conference Monday morning.

Staff-Supt. Bryce Evans will provide an update on the investigation into the adultery website's data leak at 10 a.m.

Representatives of Canadian and international law enforcement are also expected.

Ashley Madison saw a massive cache of data that hackers claim belong to the infidelity website hit the internet over the past week.

The hackers have claimed "nobody was watching" as they retrieved the data.

Going by the name Impact Team, the group had previously threatened to post names and other sensitive information regarding Ashley Madison customers if it's Toronto-based parent company Avid Life Media did not shut down this particular website as well as another one called Established Men.

The U.S. Defense Department and Postal Service are probing the alleged use of military and government emails used on the website.

Last week, Toronto lawyers filed a notice of action for a class-action lawsuit against the website, with the main plaintiff a disabled widower from Ottawa who joined the site briefly after his wife's death but never actually met anyone online.
