Over 3,000 congressional staffers’ personal information has been leaked across the dark web in a wide-scale cyberattack on the Capitol.
Switzerland based security firm Proton, disovered 1,800 passwords used by staffers at the Capitol are avaible on the dark web.
In an investigation, Proton along with the the United States based firm Constella Intelligence, revealed 1 in 5 congressional staffers had personal information exposed on teh dark web.
In the report, Proton shared, the leaks made their way to the dark web through several sorces such as adult websites, social media and dating apps.
In a statement to The Washington Times, Proton stated, “Many of these leaks likely occurred because staffers used their official email addresses to sign up for various services, including high-risk sites such as dating and adult websites, which were later compromised in data breaches.”

Which dating apps?
Wanna bet it was predominently a certain type of dating apps where dudes who like getting railed by other dudes go to look for romance?
Staffers in Washington are stupid porn addicts?
I’m shocked.
So these morons used their Congressional work email addresses to register on porno sites ?
daddy said it was okay
we belonged to the protected class
Let me guess...Rat politicians/functionaries searching gay dating sites.
They get what they deserve then.
GOOD.
Deep state communist idiots. Maybe soon we will replace you with half as many and stop getting your hidden booby traps in mega bills no one reads or understands.
Yea, if you were doing that kind of crap, it’s time to go.
In the 2024 Trump administration.
Good riddance.
Duplicate story....
That’s what happens when you use government devices to focus on getting laid, and porn instead of doing your job.
Yep they are going after Robinson of NC for also supposedly going on porn sites
because we send our brightest and best to Congress.
For the Democrat staffers it’s a resume enhancer.
Your taxpayer dollars at work folks.
Wouldn’t bother me the least bit to shave 80% of the fed porn.... er... workforce.
Sure, use your GOVERNMENT email address to access porn and other personal use…. what’s the worst that could happen? We really have incredibly STUPID people running this country.
new meaning for “nsfw.’
If Bosco was one of the passwords, it wasn’t me.
As Claude Rains once said in “Casablanca”:
“I’m shocked”
