Of course, there's also plenty of open marriages that are now potentially being exposed as well.

here's the list of email domains. I know for sure people at DOTgov are not allowed to surf at work. Sunlei Aug 2015 #5

Why are you doing this? AngryAmish Aug 2015 #7

please note, it is the domain names not the actual emails that is up on public pastebin. Sunlei Aug 2015 #9

Full email addresses or things like "@gmail.com"? AngryAmish Aug 2015 #10

yes, like @DOTgov. However, you can go to trending on pastebin and see the actual names BUT... Sunlei Aug 2015 #11

Still a shitty thing to do. AngryAmish Aug 2015 #13

It is against the working rules for government employees to use their work .gov emails like that. Sunlei Aug 2015 #14

maybe they are doing it break or lunch time. But it was wrong to hack and now to post riversedge Aug 2015 #40

It's not allowed to use DOTgov servers for 'personal fun' even on breaks or lunch. Sunlei Aug 2015 #46

Why some folks seem completely unable to comprehend that is astonishing. cleanhippie Aug 2015 #47

They probably didn't realise that about DOTgov servers. The gov employees should know better. Sunlei Aug 2015 #57

Hold up. Are you saying that its the hackers fault someone went to a hookup website cleanhippie Aug 2015 #48

Hardly. But I don't want anonymous hackers to determine which relationships are permissable, either. randome Aug 2015 #53

Which relationships are permissible? cleanhippie Aug 2015 #79

These hackers decided that adultery is not acceptable to them. randome Aug 2015 #90

Because of getting caught, or because they chose to engage in an illicit affair? LanternWaste Aug 2015 #59

Face facts. Many marriages continue despite extra-marital affairs. randome Aug 2015 #62

Isn't it the infidelity that will break up the marriage and not the outing of it? saturnsring Aug 2015 #72

All I know is it shouldn't be up to anonymous hackers to decide that. randome Aug 2015 #73

Hackers aren't going to married people's houses and changing the locks. LeftyMom Aug 2015 #88

I don't think anon was trying to solve relationships saturnsring Aug 2015 #89

No, they simply decided they don't approve of adultery. randome Aug 2015 #92

Why stop there? Why not put a red 'A' on all their heads? randome Aug 2015 #95
