Official military and government email addresses can be found throughout a leaked membership list from the Oath Keepers militia.
The paramilitary group, which is currently embroiled in controversy after 19 of its members were arrested and charged for their alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, had its data exposed on Monday after allegedly being targeted by a hacker.
The 5GB data cache, most of which was made public by the journalism and transparency collective DDoSecrets, contains emails and group chats as well as information on members and donors.
Among the files included is an alleged membership list filled with more than 38,000 emails.
Some of the entries show corresponding names, physical addresses, phone numbers, and IP addresses. The membership list does not detail whether an alleged member is or was ever active with the Oath Keepers. An email address on the list does not necessarily mean they are a member.

(11,098 posts)I recall punitive action against an officer once for using his Army e-mail account for personal communication. Of course, the real problem in that case was that the communication was a little too personal, sending unfortunate self photos demonstrating his anatomy to woman that did not appreciate the information.
On the other side, the military will not appreciate the use of government e-mail accounts to further the goals of extremist groups. The military will also not be pleased about the security breach from having the e-mail addresses made public.
Is it worthy of a court-martial? Probably not. Could it have been a career-risking decision? Maybe.
