15k belonging to .mil and .gov addresses... shocker.

Idiots - why on earth would you use your work email?  Even to hide from your wife?  Make yahoo account or something!

What, you expect people to think about security?

I can't believe that's a real site! Where do I live, under a rock? I Thought if you wanted to cheat, you used Tinder?

My wife's studied too much criminal forensics for me to ever want to cheat on her.

I also love her, but, yeah, there's that threat of swift and sure discovery and retribution going in her favor, for sure.

The thing that keeps boggling my mind about this is who in their right mind would register for any non-official website, ESPECIALLY something like this, with a .gov or .mil address?  Ok... .mil I can understand more as if I remember correctly that's pretty much all military... including those 18 year old enlisted guys... ;P

Well with dump #2, at least the CEO has to acknowledge the authenticity of the hack.

The best part is if you have a good cyber team they should have a copy of the dump. They need to validate if any users at the company are impacted, and force password changes in case a user is stupid enough to reuse their password. Now imagine that conversation at work. "Hey, Bill we need you to change your password because you had an account at Ashley-Madison."

Also with the .gov/.mil stuff there are concerns with blackmail/espionage for anyone that has access to classified data. Take that a step further, and even if they didn't use their .mil/.gov accounts whoever has the OPM breach data could correlate that info to find matches.

A fun breach all around.

That's one way to collect a large number of valid email addresses to sell.

There's a fairly beefy stack o' emails from the AM leak... now, how many *stay* valid after being revealed is another matter.

On the plus side, this may be an opportunity for some kids to get a crack at all those new job openings about to happen.
