In July, a group known as Team Impact vowed to hack into Ashley Madison and release the data of its members, who log profiles on to the site to seek out extramarital affairs.

Team Impact succeeded this week, leaking hacked data from Ashley Madison and Established Men, both owned by AvidLife Media. The data includes email addresses from a government domain in Lowell, according to Boston Magazine. A false account in Stow was also used.

Boston Magazine reported there were at least five Boston City Hall email accounts used on Ashley Madison, and government domains from Newton, Framingham, Leominster, Norwood, Somerville, and Lowell. Boston Magazine also added that one user with a Boston Police Department address was used.
