The Georgia government domains found in the Ashley Madison data dump



A couple dozen workers in government offices

across Georgia may be perspiring more than usual today.The hackers behind July’s raid on the Ashley Madison dating/cheating website have dumped 10 gigabytes of wide-ranging data. From arstechnica.com:

Researchers are still poring over the unusually large dump, but already they say it includes user names, first and last names, and hashed passwords for 33 million accounts, partial credit card data, street names, and phone numbers for huge numbers of users, records documenting 9.6 million transactions, and 36 million e-mail addresses.
While much of the data is sure to correspond to anonymous burner accounts, it’s a likely bet many of them belong to real people who visited the site for clandestine encounters. For what it’s worth, more than 15,000 of the e-mail addresses are hosted by US government and military servers using the .gov and .mil top-level domains.

Which prompted us to make a quick scan of Ashley Madison accounts registered through email addresses with Georgia government domains. What we found:
