A married politician was horrified to find her details were on a list of email addresses leaked after the hacking of infidelity website Ashley Madison. \ Michelle Thomson, the SNP MP for Edinburgh West, said her identity had been ‘harvested’ as part of a smear campaign against her.
The mother-of-two said: ‘Along with potentially millions of others, an out-of-use email address seems to have been harvested by hackers’.
Today hackers, working under the name Impact Team, published the names, addresses, phone numbers, credit card details and sexual fantasies of the social networking site’s 37 million members. Around 2.1 million of those are in the UK.
Among those named in the leak were bankers, civil servants, UN peacekeepers, firefighter and Vatican employees.
The Impact Team hackers said they had outed the users as they were ‘cheating dirtbags’.
Of the attack, Mrs Thompson said: ‘I look forward to finding out more about what has actually happened. However, having a personal email address linked to an account doesn’t mean that person is really a user of Ashley Madison’.
Another British civil servant, who did not wish to be named, told MailOnline today that she was ‘heartbroken’ after being named as an Ashley Madison user.
The married woman also said she was the victim of a ‘malicious enemy’.
Anyone using the Ashley Madison website can input any email address as the site does not require verification.
Ah yes, hackers.
We’re now going to find out just how far the supple fingers of hackers have reached into the everyday lives of ordinary internet users.
Charlie Sheen’s name MUST be on this list.
AAaaa LIKELY story...
The Guardian is all over this story.The readers’ comments are all along the lines of “must the Guardian sink into the mud by reporting this?”.Of course,if it was a Conservative officeholder these readers wouldn’t be bothered in the least.
Would that sully his reputation? AM might be a step up in his case.
Yes, I believe her..........not...........
LOL. Uh, yeah, that's it honey, its all part of a smear campaign against you. Your devious enemies posted information about a fictitious affair that you had, knowing that it would be hacked and leaked.
But does Mrs. Thomson deny that it is her entry? She doesn’t in this excerpt.
Classic non denial denial.
Another British civil servant, who did not wish to be named, told MailOnline today that she was ‘heartbroken’ after being named as an Ashley Madison user.
The married woman also said she was the victim of a ‘malicious enemy’.
Yeah, her out of control libido.
If she was seeking, a “bailiff type, or an, “Essex man,” there’s going to be big trouble for her.
If BJ Slick Willy Clinton isn’t on the list I would be shocked
Bimbo...er, bingo.
Barry Soetoro’s bound to have some pals on this site... Star Wars cosplay probably bores even him.
That much hairspray on a woman with that face and you know she’s trolling for it.

Wouldn’t you get notifications to the email you used?
Charlie Sheen’s name MUST be on this list.
He’d brag about it.
Isnt Ashley Madison about finding women to cheat with? From what I can see Obama swings for the other team, unless this site also has men looking for other men
