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

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

Who the hell are you to say what people do during their workdays? randome Aug 2015 #16

I got all the info from the news article. except I do know .gov employees aren't supposted to Sunlei Aug 2015 #22

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

While I don't support the hack, I wouldn't feel bad for somebody if their husband/wife found out Travis_0004 Aug 2015 #26

Unfortunately, there are a lot of loveless, sexless marriages out there. randome Aug 2015 #29

Relationships are complicated. It's not up to you or me to determine what is 'moral' or not. randome Aug 2015 #56

Caveat cheater Orrex Aug 2015 #60

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

Of course they're the cowards not the brave people hiding their affairs saturnsring Aug 2015 #94

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

Why stop here because this gives anyone who is being cheated on a way to know saturnsring Aug 2015 #96

I'm betting most of them are just Blue_Tires Aug 2015 #82

Looking over those .mil addresses Lee-Lee Aug 2015 #6

Asking for what? The results of their actions are their responsibility alone. I care not. whatthehey Aug 2015 #43

Joining a website that advertises "life is short, have an affair' and getting caught cleanhippie Aug 2015 #50
