The hacktivist team anonymous claims to have succeeded in obtaining gigabytes data from Epik, a company that provides domain names, hosting, and DNS services to many far-right clients. Among them are the Texas GOP, Gab, Parler and 8chan. The stolen data was released as a torrent.
The Anonymous αναφέρουν ότι το σύνολο δεδομένων είναι πάνω από 180 GB, και περιέχει δεδομένα δεκαετίας από την εταιρεία.
The hacking group says the data set is "all you need to find the real ownership and management of the fascist side of the Internet."
If this information is correct, the data and identities of Epik customers could now fall into the hands of activists, researchers and almost anyone curious.
The attack took place on September 13, 2021, in retaliation for hosting fascist websites. THE infringement exposed a huge amount of the company's customer data, but deleted WHOIS records belonging to individuals and organizations that were not Epik customers.
The data include over 15 million unique email addresses, names, phone numbers, physical addresses, purchases and passwords stored in various formats.
