Wells Fargo Leads in Bankster Emails Found in Ashley Madison Data Dump

Hundreds of bankers used their work emails to register for the adultery website AshleyMadison.com, MarketWatch found after searching the data.

Hackers unleashed the email and street addresses, phone numbers and credit card details of about 36 million users of the adultery website AshleyMadison.com.

Here are the financial institutions MarketWatch searched for, and how many associated email addresses were found:

Wells Fargo — @wellsfargo.com: 175
Bank of America — @bankofamerica.com: 76
Deutsche Bank — @db.com: 73
Goldman Sachs — @gs.com: 45
PNC Bank — @pnc.com: 28
U.S. Bancorp — @usbank.com: 15
Bank of New York Mellon — @bnymellon.com: 14
Citigroup — @citi.com: 51
J.P. Morgan Chase — @jpmchase.com: 9
Capital One — @capitalone.com: 4

MarketWatch also searched for @marketwatch.com emails and found none. However, the website did find 10 @dowjones.com emails. (Dow Jones is the parent company that owns MarketWatch.)

The Hill reported that the leak appears to include more than 15,000 government and military emails. According to The Hill, Washington D.C. reportedly has the highest rate of membership for the site of any city.
