>NOTORIOUS "HACKERS ON ESTRADIOL" PRESENT GRAND REVEAL<p>I love how this is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the "hackers on steroids" piece from 2007 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNO6G4ApJQY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNO6G4ApJQY</a>
Anonymous strikes again, this time with a well known web registration company with a decade of data. This is a blatant example how poor security management leads to the hardship of thousands if not millions of regular people. Now their private details have a risk of being public and fully open to scrutiny. And its not just some simple data breach they allegedly stole domain purchases and transfers, account credentials of pretty much all their clients. Unacceptable. Embarrassing. They should be held accountable for all this if it comes out to be true.
Eventually the cloud is going to burst and everyone’s data will be public. The motive will be similar to this one, where a huge blast radius of collateral damage is accepted in the name of harming bad people. Seeing people eagerly download this data that surely includes countless amounts of personal info of non-Nazis shows this clearly.
Did anyone download it and look? This is huge if it's true isn't it? I don't want to download it because I don't know what the laws are, but I'm really interested to know if it's true. Rob Monster is a really big domain investor, right?<p>This is really big news if it's true.<p>Edit: I looked it up. Rob started Epik [1]. I wonder if that's really his password. Lol.<p>Edit 2: I wasn't aware of Epik's reputation either. I just knew they're a big (ish) registrar.<p>1. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Monster" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Monster</a>
Looks like they had access to their CDN at some point too: <a href="https://archive.is/traih" rel="nofollow">https://archive.is/traih</a>
Lest anyone be confused, this is Epik the web hosting company[1], not Epic Games the videogame company[2], or Epic Systems the healthcare software company[3].<p>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epik_(company)" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epik_(company)</a><p>[2] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games</a><p>[3] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Systems" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Systems</a>
The linked .torrent file is ~30MB, and appears to be ~180GB of data with ~190,000 files. It's split into ~689,000 pieces of ~256KB, hence the comparatively large .torrent file overall.
Looks like the seeder is gone, but they were online just barely briefly enough to get the torrent metadata.<p>For those that are curious what's in there:<p><a href="https://gist.github.com/Q726kbXuN/57f3825493d04867c3d192fd9306076f" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/Q726kbXuN/57f3825493d04867c3d192fd93...</a>
Just a few days ago a Russian web host was hacked as well, with a similar statement. I guess they're all exploiting some recently discovered bug in web hosting software.
There is a .swp file in the torrent:<p>> strings .whois.sql.swp<p>b0nano 5.4<p>anonymous<p>datahound<p>whois.sql<p>I tested on my machine and nano swap files contain the nano version (5.4), the username (anonymous), the hostname (datahound) and the filename (whois.sql).
All these recent hacks. Cant any of these companies use proper security experts? I mean they have the funds, why skip this and avoid all the backlash that comes with this. Its expensive but not as much as letting everyone know you messed up hard
> OFFICIAL ANONYMOUS (not to be confused with 'Anonymous Official' grifters)<p>I find it ironic that this is the first line of a “press release” from a group that was always defined by its nebulous nature.
Sorry but i have no idea what any of you are saying, nor do i have any idea where to direct this question, but can someone/anyone plz listen to my (probably useless) idea, and/or share with whoever takes requests? In just tired of all of the kids around here following all these self-destructing and mindless 'trends' from all of these social media sites! Its just so embarrassing, i wish these younger generations would stop copying bad examples probably started by some evil genius that works for the govt of a country who hates us and wants to see what stupid tricks they can make us do.<p>ANYWAYS.... i sure would like to know what would happen if everyone who has youtube, tiktok, facebook (etc) account had their personalized results/preferences changed so that all of the suggestions and 'similar' results would consist of 'Restoring Faith in Humanity' type videos. Thank you for listening, sorry its probably a dumb idea.

Are they currently writing up a blogpost about this? Their blog has nothing: <a href="https://www.epik.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">https://www.epik.com/blog/</a><p>And this is a megadump of a hack.<p>But you can buy a .MONSTER TLD For $1.49: <a href="https://www.epik.com/promos/monster" rel="nofollow">https://www.epik.com/promos/monster</a>
This has been updated to include a spiel about Kent Dahlgren.<p>I'm not aware of the story there — is there some sort of feud between the two parties?
<p><pre><code> Speaking to Gizmodo, Epik said they were unaware that they had been hacked, but would investigate.
</code></pre>
What's interesting here is that if you are an ICANN accredited registrar there is a window in which you must report a breach to them, may be interesting to find if they have/have not reported said breach.
Not a great day for this HostBill to be announcing their new Epik integration.. <a href="https://twitter.com/hostbillappcom/status/1438113494973489159" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/hostbillappcom/status/143811349497348915...</a>
While I think people should have good security and hash the passwords I honestly think the guys behind this are real scumbags.<p>Probably not going to happen, but it would be interesting with an arrest.
I don't get it, didn't anonymous start on 4chan? Why are they attacking this company which is hosting similar content? I thought anonymous used to only attack megacorps
> Time to find out who in your family secretly ran an Ivermectin horse porn fetish site, disinfo publishing outfit, or yet another QAnon hellhole.<p>> Decloak origin IPs of nazi websites for further investigation, poking, prodding!<p>> Map out a decade of online fash with a level of clarity nobody has been able to UNTIL NOW!<p>> Support your starving hacktivists, and they will bless you in turn.<p>> So long, for now! Support #OperationJane and mess with Texas today!<p>> Abortion is a human right!<p>Yeah... This is not Anonymous. This is a bunch of people larping as them.
> OFFICIAL ANONYMOUS (not to be confused with 'Anonymous Official' grifters)<p>They should sign an ethereum address to reduce ambiguity<p>(Any crypto asset address is fine, even PGP is good enough for this but PGP had 25 years to make that user friendly and common but failed, and cryptocurrencies made signing software more prevalent and uniform wayyyyy faster)
One step closer to anarcho-tyranny.
Anonymous has become the Antifa of the Internet.
Basically a far-left strike force, cloaked but public, with enough plausible deniability that the 3 letter agencies allow to exist because they can do things beyond the law - as long as they dont go after the gov...
One has to wonder why they are so focused on [Combating far right extremism and misinformation] when it's clearly designed to benefit the overall establishment system status-quo. Even _if_ this whole Operation Jane anti anti-abortion-law texas hacktivism politics made sense to someone, it now has a much larger effect on the internet as a whole. Epik - one of the last hosting providers on the internet in favor of absolute free speech (within the law) that still exists. The risk/reward equation doesnt add up.
More innocent rights are being violated with this hack alone compared to saving womens abortion rights.
