How?

Not sure really lol, could be they've been collecting them for some time from others or through things like skype/social networking sites
There's quite a few ways to find the emails of people if their information isn't properly hidden

What ways? If you know them you should post them here, so people would have a chance to secure their data.

This kills every way to play Salem with a custom client. And the default client wasn`t in a good shape last time I played.

You did mention though, that some of this is happening because of a keylogger in a custom client. Which client was this? Even though the community at large trusts Ender's client, I can see how some would wonder, as you never specified who did this.

First you have to get real name to search social media, if someone is giving away real life data he must be aware of that.
I haven't seen here who done this security abusing? If it was custom client + keylogger we should be notice who/what faction wrote that client.
