Local government emails in Ashley Madison database

Jeremy Jojola (9News) – Taxpayers may also be getting cheated as government employees use their official work accounts to conduct extramarital affairs.

9Wants to Know found numerous local government email accounts in the Ashley Madison database acquired and uploaded by hackers.

“Any kind of misuse, including for your own personal affairs is something that should be avoided,” said Luis Toro of Colorado Ethics Watch, a government watchdog group. “Government emails, government resources at your computer are supposed to be used for public business only.”
