Ashley Madison hack includes hundreds of gov’t email addresses

In all, 548 unique email addresses for various federal agencies were included in the data dump, including Canadian Forces members, RCMP and Canadian Border Services employees.

The leak also includes emails with the domain names of prominent Canadian companies, including CP Rail, Scotiabank and CIBC, though it is impossible to verify if any of the email addresses are legitimate. Journalism outlets, including the Toronto Star, CBC, the Globe and Mail and CTV, appear among the emails.  (more...)
