Guest Vern Edwards Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 There is a wonderful rant in today's edition of The New York Times online. "The Ashley Madison Hack Shows We're Too Dumb To Cheat," by Jennifer Weiner. An excerpt: In the wake of Tuesday’s revelation that up to 15,000 of Ashley Madison’s would-be philanderers might work for the United States government or military, I want to add yet another [category of idiots}: “You are a government employee and you were too stupid to create a new email account when you registered on a website for cheaters.” http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/20/opinion/the-ashley-madison-hack-shows-were-too-dumb-to-cheat.html?ref=opinion I have to admit to being astounded at what government personnel do and write on government computers.

bentley78 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I'll be interested to see what investigations are started to linking emails to clearances - seems like a no-brainer revocation to me. I'll also be interested to see whether the DOD pursues all of those "bright bulbs" that registered with their .mil address - considering adultery could be prosecuted under Article 134 of the UCMJ. I guess the saying is true...you just can't fix stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apsofacto Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I have heard reports that Ashley Madison doesn't confirm those e-mail address, which gives their "clients" some measure of deniability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
