Updated 3:03 p.m. | Personal information gathered from a cyber assault on online-fling facilitator Ashley Madison has now hit the Web, and a handful of Capitol Hill accounts appear to have been laid bare.
Per media reports, the client records harvested by hackers identifying themselves as "Impact Team" include some 36 million email addresses. Ashley Madison does not, by its own admission, engage in any type of email verification, making fictitious accounts another resource in the cheater's toolbox.
Approximately 15,000 of those appear to sport the “.mil” or “.gov” designation assigned to the armed forces and federal agencies, respectively. Impact Team has not divulged the names associated with the pilfered hook-up records, but a data-driven social media user combed through the information and compiled the most common occurrences.
Among those purportedly seeking relations away from their spouses are emails associated with:
The office of GOP presidential hopeful Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
The Capitol Police.
Seven folks with ties to House offices.
Nearly four dozen people who punch timecards at the White House.
Sans a deep dive into the dark web to parse the full batch of raw data released for public scrutiny, HOH has no sure way of knowing which of our friends, neighbors and/or colleagues were looking to get their freak on away from prying eyes.
A Cruz aide assured HOH that nary a soul in that office is surreptitiously on the prowl.
“The email address in question is press@cruz.senate.gov, a publicly and widely available forwarding address that is often entered into web contact forms by people with no connection to our office,” Team Cruz said of the generic mailbox.
No one from the Capitol Police or Senate Sergeant-at-Arms responded to queries concerning particularly lustful aides.
“Ashley Madison does not, by its own admission, engage in any type of email verification, making fictitious accounts another resource in the cheater’s toolbox.”
Cruz’s office was mention in August of 2015 when the Ashley Madison situation unfolded. Look it up.
The rumors have not been proven to be lies.
Best guess. They are not lies, but the truth.
NATIONAL ENQUIRER STATEMENT ABOUT CLAIMS IT WAS INFLUENCED BY TRUMP:
“No one influences the reporting that the National Enquirer does other than our own reporters and editors. We stand by the integrity of our coverage and remain committed to our aggressive reporting on such an important topic. The more than any other publication, has been unflinching in its reporting on the 2016 presidential candidates. “ — AMI, Enquirer parent company, to the Hollywood Reporter
The Cruz supporters are in DENIAL and getting VERY DESPERATE.
I doubt @realDonaldTrump would throw his spokeswoman @KatrinaPierson under the bus just to defame @TedCruz using the #CruzSexScandal article— Mark Dice (@MarkDice) March 25, 2016
Give it up.
How’s come Donnie is not campaigning in Wisconsin right now?
Because it’s Good Friday?
Thanks for the clarification.
He had the exact personality I did at that age. I love this guy! #IAmTedCruz
Hmmm. Diamond and Silk referenced “Lollipop” in one of their posts on Twitter.
Then why doesn’t Trump deny that Katrina was involved?
Someone (Hillary) been sand bagging dirt if needed like the Cruz Canadian birth ...you know the dem are holding that in the back pocket..break glass if needed....
at this point all the dirt had better get dump.out on everyone before the General against the dems
This is pathetic. Less than nothing there. Free Republic is being brought down to tabloid news level. I used to tell people to go to FR for news and insight. That no longer happens. I'm embarrassed to say I go there.
That video should have it’s own thread.
No wonder his college roommate hates him so much...
Was Marla Maples on Ashley Madison?
How would Trump know? Didn’t this allegedly happen before she joined his campaign?
I had someone sign up for Facebook with my email account (the one I put on my resume on job hunting sites).
This looks like a generic email address that handed out or as a contact on a web page, I could easily see how someone third party could use it without Ted’s knowledge.
I would give Ted a pass on this one.
the more I see of this kinda stuff, the more I realize I have been vindicated in regards to Cruz pulling a Rubio on us. I’ve had my doubts about him since he rose into the spotlight. In all honesty this does not surprise me a bit if any of this is true.
Great photoshop
