Evans salling this a “wake-up call” to the hackers, and he also made a point to appeal to hackers in general for help.

“To the hacking community, who engage in discussions on the dark web, and who no doubt have information that could assist in this investigation, we are also appealing to you to do the right thing, to acknowledge that this is a unique situation that has caused enormous social and economic fallout. You know the Impact Team has crossed the line. Do the right thing, and reach out to us, ” Evans said.

Evans claimed that the police are investigating two claims of suicides stemming from the release of the information, but so far those claims remain unconfirmed.

Unfortunately, less than 1% of hackers are ever caught.
