EXCLUSIVE: Hackers breach Andrew Tate's online university, leak data on 800,000 users

www.dailydot.com EXCLUSIVE: Hackers breach Andrew Tate's online university, leak data on 800,000 users

The hacked data includes roughly 325,000 users' email addresses

An online course founded by far-right influencer Andrew Tate was breached by hackers, revealing the email addresses of roughly 325,000 users.

The self-described online university, known as The Real World, offers users “advanced training and mentoring” for around $50 per month. Formerly known as Hustler’s University, the platform focuses on topics such as health and fitness, financial investment, and e-commerce businesses.

“Money making is a skill,” the website states. “We will teach you how to master it.”

On Thursday, the hackers made their actions known by flooding the course’s primary chatroom with emojis they uploaded while Tate was streaming an episode of his show “Emergency Meeting” on Rumble.

The emojis included a transgender flag, a feminist fist, an AI-generated image of Tate draped in a rainbow flag, another where his buttocks are enlarged, and the cat character used in the “boykisser” meme.

Oh shit, there’s a database of the easily influenced with expendable income?
The Daily Dot was provided with approximately 794,000 usernames for what are believed to be the site’s current and former members, as well as the contents of the platform’s 221 public and 395 private chat servers. [...] The Real World claims it currently has over 113,000 active users. If accurate, the site at minimum would generate upwards of $5,650,000 every month.

Jesus, why is this bullshit that large?
Hi mom I just enrolled in the university of a guy who traffics sex slaves and thinks all women should be one
Oh. My. Fucking. God.

That many people, actually signed up, and gave him money.

That's a lot of fucking Darwin awards.
I guess their security turned out to be as fragile as their masculinity!
I sometimes work for a guy who thinks women shouldn't be allowed to vote. He's genuinely kind, but not at all academic. It is entirely the fault of low-effort internet bullshit like this. It's actually very upsetting to see somebody poisoned by social media in real-time.
Boot camps for adults that don’t actually want to do any real work along with a get rich quick incel overtone. What a scam.
800,000 users...

I need to get into scamming idiots, that sounds incredibly profitable.
This fucking guy has an online university? Really?
These hackers have fantastic values, and the effort they put into this made the world a slightly better place. Good on em.

(next on the block: Jordan Peterson's School for Very Logical Manbabies)
A University a.k.a. "Buy this ebook to make money online!" and the contents are "Just resell this Ebook lol".
For anyone not aware, the entire breach has been published by DDOSecrets and can be torrented by anyone.

For research and journalism purposes, of course.
Wow, that’s a big list of suckers
Oohh, where can I find this list? My wife's ex is one of those sad little men who follows and recommends him everywhere
If everyone on that list was closely monitored from here, probably the end of school shootings.
aww, one sec, have to find my tiny violin..
He had an online university? Was it CHUD-U?
"University" is a pretty generous description.
Ha thats pretty funny, last i heard his dopey academy looked like it was using revolts backend code. Which would be a violation of the gpl V3 license aswell.
Where does data like this end up?

I’m asking to avoid it of course
800k users? How?
Hmm. What does he teach? I'll start:

Douchebaggery 101
He was streaming? Isn't he about to go to jail?
worried for all my favorite youtubers who signed up in order to expose how shit the content is lol. hope they used fake info.
See, this is what the Matt Gaetz hacker would do if they actually had it
Ha ha.
Didn’t know he was accredited
Who?
Sweet
lol
This feels like a 4chan anonymous thing.
