UPDATE: I now have access to 23,000 emails that were leaked by BitMEX. Surprisingly, there is only one person that used a .gov email. There were 66 students/alumni that used .edu email. NYU dominates (7 people), followed by Berkley, and University of Michigan.
64% of people used Gmail, 7% Hotmail, 3.8% Yahoo and only 3.2% ProtonMail
Based on top-level domains, .com obviously dominates with 87%. It's followed by .de (1.8%), .ru (1.1%), .net (0.9%), .co.uk (0.8%), .io (0.7%), .fr (0.6%).
After skimming through thousands of these emails, I must say that people fucking suck at op sec. The number of people that use first.last name or unique domains is unreal. My eyeball estimate is that ~70% of people can be doxx'd from the email alone.
Many reached out in DMs if I will share the list. I won't. It's only for research purposes and I don't trust anyone that it wouldn't be abused. If anyone wants, my DMs are open and I can check for you if your email is there.
