Former Tory minister Damian Green denies involvement in Ashley Madison
Millions of users of Ashley Madison had their personal details released by hackers Prooffreader went through the email addresses and found that nearly every one had a.va.us, .va.gov, or.ca equivalent.
But the 59-year-old former Police Minister has denied any involvement with the dating site and said he does not know anything about it.
A married housemaster at one of Britain’s most exclusive public schools is among hundreds of professionals revealed as members of the adultery website Ashley Madison. It’s nothing to do with me.
The influential Tory, who has been married to Alicia Collinson since 1988, said: “I don’t know anything about this”. The Hill reportedthat more than 15,000 accounts were registered with White House, government federal agencies and military email addresses.
Private sector workers also used work mail addresses to get on AshleyMadison.com, including people at IBM, HP, Cisco, Apple, Intel, Microsoft, Samsung and Qualcomm. The security question was the maiden name of Green’s mother, Lyons.
The embarrassment for Green comes after an email address for Scottish National Party MP Michelle Thomson was also found among the gigabytes of data leaked. It’s more likely that those.va email addresses in the Ashley Madison leak were simply the mistakes of fat-fingered Canadians, or Virginians who forgot the.gov part of their email address, rather than cheating cardinals.
