GRAHAMCLULEY.COM – Mar 2 – The continuing story of the Ashley Madison hack, has taken another ugly twist. Some users received blackmail letters demanding $2K or their loved ones will be told about their membership of Ashley Madison. A number of people who refused to pay the Bitcoin ransom are now reporting that follow-up letters have been sent addressed to their wives.

How does that make any sense? The whole point, presumably, is to blackmail men into not having their wives find out. If you then send letters to their wives, why pay when the cats now out of the bag? Perhaps it’s a way to intimidate other men into paying the ransom.
Succumbing to blackmail never works. You’re just an easier mark now.
Be sure your sins will find you out!
