Claims made that hackers who threaten to release adultery website user's info are bluffing

It has been claimed that hackers threatening to release the names of people using an adultery website may be bluffing.

The group has warned that it will publish them all unless the Ashley Madison site is shut down.

But there is speculation that it might be a publicity stunt to get a higher price if the data is sold on.

This woman joined the site to speak to people as she cared for her husband, who has Alzheimer's.

She is not scared by the hackers.

"I'm not doing anything wrong, I think it's the person who is doing the hacking that's doing everything wrong," she said.

"As far as people getting any information from the site about me, well I've not given much away anyway."
