Daily Dot ^ | 16 September 2021 | Mikael Thalen

Posted on 09/16/2021 11:24:35 AM PDT by zeestephen

A large-scale breach of the domain registrar and web hosting company Epik has exposed a massive trove of data, including the names of individuals behind some of the far-right's most notorious websites...In a press release on the hack, dubbed Operation EPIK FAIL, Anonymous claimed that it was able to obtain "a decade's worth" of information, including domain registrations and transfers, account credentials, and emails from an Epik employee.

Like a ‘bombshell’ tell all book from Bob Woodward?

There is no question that there are many posers, claiming to be on the right, but working against us. It will be interesting to see who those people are.

While we have our share of kooks, it would not surprise me to see the extreme left and foreign actors behind some "far right" and nutcase conspiracy websites hosted by Epik. I also assume some of them are operated by CIA/FBI or other 3 letter agencies.

I deleted my Gab account. I got tired of dealing with the antisemitism.

Free speech comes at a price.

I'm old enough to remember the Skokie Nazi march in the late 1970s. The Nazis' right to march was defended by a Jewish ACLU attorney. He wrote a book about it, Defending My Enemy. His rationale was that if they ban the Nazis today, they'll ban other people tomorrow.

He was right. The ADL and SPLC were among the groups pushing for the current wave of deplatfoming, which began in earnest in 2017 after the Charlottesville "Unite the Right" march. Although the role of social media in Trump's 2016 victory was an impetus, convincing the left that free speech had gone too far.

The first victims of deplatforming were anti-Semites, white nationalists, Holocaust deniers, and Alt Right figures. "We just want to ban the extremists," said the "anti-hate" groups.

But it didn't stop there, did it?

This hack was first reported by an independent journalist named Steven Monacelli who is filled with hate for the Political Right.

On his Twitter account, Steven Monacelli writes a long list of things that were hacked off of Epik.

I do not disagree. I just got tired of dealing with them and left. I just took my online time somewhere else.

Like those far right trump supporters who were going to kidnap gov Whitman of MN. Turns out the four member far right Trump supporters group were infiltrated by four members of the FBI. These infiltrators then planned, organized, financed the whole Ludacris fiasco.

“They” have been trying to get a shooting rebellion to start so they can move in with heavy artillery, establish marshal law that will never go away. BTW! The purge of the military is under way with the demand for the CV-19 vaccines. Anyone not getting it will be determined to be the kind of people they do not want any=d will be booted out.

Shouldn’t provide them with an opportunity until we are ready.

"It will be interesting to see who those people are."

We'll be able to easily identify them - they'll be the ones swinging from the light poles....

Did Q publish on Epik?

I never understood where the Q-bits came from.

My guess is that computer geeks were generally neutral or right-leaning politically until about the 70's.

The best hackers are most likely leftists.

The few remaining right-leaning geeks are gonna have to step up their game or else continue to see EPIK fails.

Doubt there is even a hack at all. “Anonymous” is more hoax than hacker. Just some thrill seekers claiming to be super cool hacker ninjas in the hopes that some gullible journalists run with the story.

“Worst we’ve seen in twenty years.”

Well poindexters over that twenty years you slept through a socialist revolution, can’t imagine that a few e-mails between Hitlerites would amount to very much in comparison.

Short answer, yes. For a while.

Ron Watkins posted “Q drops” on 8chan. 8chan was kicked around the internet for years and was hosted by Epik for a while until just before the 2020 election. Epik was forced to drop 8chan by Voxility, the company that owned the IP addresses Epik used.

It would be pretty cool to find out who Q is in real life.

Personally, I never believed that Q was a Conservative.

Q always praised Trump for doing nothing consequential to fight back against the relentless attacks from the Political Left.

So ? Lets see it, un mask every last rino for the filth they are involved in. Once that’s done, they need to be thrown out of the party, out of politics, and maybe even out of society.
HOWEVER, I have a feeling its just things from the Normals that the wacko left doesn’t like.
Which I have a full form “Butt Hurt Report Form” followed up with a Hurt Feelings Report I came across while in the Army many many years ago.

Maybe we will find out some day. It certainly wasn’t someone on our side.
