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.

A University a.k.a. "Buy this ebook to make money online!" and the contents are "Just resell this Ebook lol".

Wow, that’s a big list of suckers

If I had no morals, damn. Scamming dumb misogynistic men would be such a killer money making opportunity.

Honestly, if you scam them and then donate the money to progressive causes, it's as if you collected taxes.

I wouldn't even call it a scam at that point.

You can scam the women too, you don’t have to be sexist. Republicans are all dumb. Don’t limit yourself.

These hackers have fantastic values, and the effort they put into this made the world a slightly better place. Good on em.

Where does data like this end up?

I’m asking to avoid it of course

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's in the article.

The email addresses from the dump were provided by the hackers to HaveIBeenPwned, a service that alerts users when their credentials are leaked. Those email addresses as well as the chat data were also handed over to the journalism collective DDoSecrets, which hosts hacked and leaked data in the public interest.
