Ashley Madison Hack: Who Is On The List? [White House, UN, Military, NASA, Vatican accounts]
SKY NEWS ^ | 08/19/2015

A slew of leaked data reveals the names and addresses of users of the adultery dating website, including people in top jobs.

Thousands of government and military officials are among those who appear to have been exposed by the huge Ashley Madison data dump.

Hackers dropped a gigantic 10Gb file of information about users of the adultery dating website, sparking a scramble on the web to create a searchable database of all those named.

Sky News has seen the raw data, which features the names and addresses of users - mostly in the US but many in the UK.

The majority of the email addresses used are personal Hotmail or Gmail accounts, however there are lots who have used work-linked email accounts.

There are reports that 15,000 US military and government email addresses are registered on the database, including executives in high-level positions.

There are also email addresses linked to the White House and NASA, as well as the Vatican and the United Nations.

Others have found senior professors at top universities, with one Twitter user quipping: "I wonder how many professors right now are thanking God for tenure?"

They use their work E-Mail accounts so their spouses don’t discover it on their home/personal accounts.

There goes Ashley Madison, and good riddance. If you run a site for people who want clandestine, illicit affairs, rule one is: Don’t get hacked!

This must be some sort of intelligence test. Who in their right mind would use their real names and government email accounts on such a site?

Unintelligent government officials, bureaucrats, and employees, that's who.

Divorce attorneys are going to be rolling in cash soon.
There are sites popping up that you can just enter an e-mail address into and it will scan this hacked data and return a yes/no result. I already found a surprising hit in my circle of friends..

Understanding no guarantees of anything, do you have a site?
Is a Tor browser required?
There are going to be some great news conferences soon.

I told my wife of 48 years that I was not on the list. She just arched an eyebrow.

That's one of the reasons we are still in love.

If you are having major problems with one person, the solution is not to go ahead and add in yet another person.

They have to use their real name if they are using their credit card.

I find the “hurting innocent people” as a rather hypocritical case against the releasing of names. The names are people who cheat. They are not innocent. These are people who promised fidelity but are not holding to it. The spouses have a right to know. I do not think the company should be allowed to facilitate the breaking of marriage vows. I would think it would be a public health issue if nothing else, since morality and fidelity seem to be unacceptable ideas these days.

The innocent parties are the spouses. They have a right to choose whether to be intimate with a cheater or not to be.

Ghost, thanks for all the posts. Hopefully some will find some solace. It’s sad that some folks will find out those thoughts they were having of, “Is she or he cheating on me” will be answered. I hate liars. I do hope chickens come home.
