Anti-porn Michigan Republican denies connection to data breach info leaked from hookup, webcam site

Information allegedly leaked on two different cybersecurity websites has been linked to accounts apparently owned by Michigan Republican state Rep. Josh Schriver of Oxford, including accounts on adult entertainment, hookup sex and webcam sites.

The connection was first reported in a story published by The Detroit Metro Times.

When Michigan Advance reached out to Schriver’s office for comment, he vehemently denied the allegation and accusations that the accounts or email address implicated in the information ever belonged to him.

“I have never used or accessed any of the sites mentioned, and I had no clue they even existed until reached out about it,” he said in a statement sent by his staff via email. “The Metro Times article relies on unverified data from old internet breaches and attempts to connect me to something I have absolutely nothing to do with. Anyone familiar with how these databases work knows they are often inaccurate, manipulated, or misattributed, and it is irresponsible for a publication to present them as fact.”
