Epik Hack

The Epik hosting service that supports several right-wing web presences like 8chan, Parler, Gab, and the Texas GOP has been hacked at 180GB of internal data has been dumped by Anonymous.

The hacktivist collective says that the data set, which is over 180GB in size, contains a "decade's worth of data from the company."

Anonymous says the data set is "all that's needed to trace actual ownership and management of the fascist side of the Internet that has eluded researchers, activists, and, well, just about everybody." If this information is correct, Epik's customers' data and identities could now fall into the hands of activists, researchers, and just about anyone curious enough to take a peek.
