Screenshot of Twitter/X video.Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico’s email address has been uncovered in a database from a 2011 data breach of Fling.com, an online dating and hook-up website, Townhall reports. Townhall reports that Talarico’s attorneys confirmed the email belonged to and was used by the Texas Democrat.The online account was created just before Talarico began teaching sixth graders at Rhodes Middle School in San Antonio, Texas, back in 2011.The profile, “mohawk787,” which is reportedly associated with an email belonging to Talarico, lists “FETISH,” “GROUPSEX,” “SEXUAL RELATIONS,” “ONLINE FLIRTING,” and “OTHER” as the user’s interests.The same email address also appears on other websites, including Myspace, and IP address matches suggest that Talarico’s sister, Madeline Talarico, created a Neopets page from the same location, Townhall reports. Still, it is unclear based on the records who actually created the account using Talarico’s email.And, in a letter to Townhall, Talarico’s attorneys note that the birth date and zip code associated with the profile did not match those of Talarico, threatening legal consequences.“Talarico never created an account on Fling.com, and objective evidence confirms it,” Jacquelyn K. Lopez and Sarah N. Mahmood wrote. “The account you are referencing was created using a hacked email address. It was also never used—it was active for a grand total of 54 seconds on Fling.com. You are formally on notice that any allegation that Mr. Talarico created or used such an account is false; if you publish it anyway, you will defame him and will be liable for the resulting legal damages.”Townhall reports:The records from the Fling.com data breach show displayed account creation and last-login timestamps that are 54 seconds apart. The screenshots show no later login before the database leaked in 2011, but they do not establish that the account was accessed again.The Fling.com database record lists the email address as “validated,” marked with a “Y” for yes. According to the database structure published by cybersecurity researcher Troy Hunt, the default setting was “N” for no. This means the email address was marked as verified rather than left at its default setting.The record also shares an IP address with a separate database leak involving an email address associated with Talarico’s sister used in association with an account at a company called Neopets. An IP address can identify the internet connection used to establish the user account, which could indicate that the accounts reflected in the Fling.com and the Neopets data breaches originated from the same internet connection.The post James Talafreako’s Email Appears on Dating Site Leak – Profile Tied to Email Lists “Fetish” and “Group Sex” as Interests appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
