Via Ashley Madison.
Correction: Va.gov is the domain for the Department of Veterans Affairs, not the state of Virginia.
With the Ashley Madison records released into the world, the scramble to analyze them is well underway.
The Website Have I been pwned?, which checks if your data on Ashley Madison—a site in which people can sign up to cheat on their significant others—has been compromised, has classified it as a sensitive breach and will only notify users if their own e-mail address was included. But the folks behind the D.C.-based Trustify, an app that connects users to private investigators, worked overnight to update their “Check if You’ve Been Hacked” database to include the data, and you can enter any email address to see if it was included. In twelve hours, more than 10,000 people have used it.
For less specific interests, Twitter user @t0x0pg released a count of the military and government email domains used to register. In total, 15,019 accounts were affiliated with a .mil or .gov email address. Of those, us.army.mil was the clear winner loser, with 6,788 accounts, followed by navy.mil (1,665) and usmc.mil (809).
But the single government domain with the most Ashley Madison users was … the Department of Veterans Affairs, with 104. Meanwhile, 22 of D.C.’s city government employees and 22 Montgomery County employees appear to have used work addresses to sign up.
