The Gateway Pundit reports that social media platform GAB has been hacked – and its founders say they have been targeted by “psychotic, demonic Hackers” who have threatened to release stolen user data.
Gab was hacked by a group of far-left radicals who claimed the attack was meant to help journalists.
Hacker group DDoSecrets said they were providing researchers, journalists and social scientists with “70GB of passwords, private posts and more.”
DDoSecrets co-founder Emma Best, a far-left radical who previously leaked WikiLeaks group chats in defense of Hillary Clinton, told leftist tabloid Wired that the data “contains almost everything on Gab, including user data and private posts, that someone would need for Gab users and content for a near-complete analysis.”
The report says that while Best is an anti-WikiLeaks nut, their hacked profile site is an exact replica of Julian Assange’s creation. The uninspired criminals even call it “GabLeaks”.
In an article, Gab founder Andrew Torba did not shy away from the hack, accusing the hackers of being attacked by “demonic hackers with mental illness.
Torba said the vulnerability that the organization used to access the data has now been patched.
Summit News reported that the group claimed to have Alex Jones, who belongs to the conservative media outlet Infowars, Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene, as well as the “I’m not a fan” group. Greene (R-Texas) and MyPillow CEO Michael Lindell. They claim that they have not decrypted the passwords and have not accessed the accounts.
While the case seems a natural fit for charges under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFA), a law commonly abused by the government, Best and her cronies don’t seem very concerned.
