Leaked Ashley Madison Data Includes NH Government Domains

Those who were exposed in the data hack can be traced back to municipal offices in the Granite State; federal departments, military.

The hack also included domain names from military accounts as well as government accounts on the federal, state, and local level, according to a collection of the domains posted on pastebin.com.

In July, a group known as Team Impact vowed to hack into AshleyMadison.com 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.
