Anonymous hacktivist collective allegedly stole “a decade’s worth of data” from Epik, including its client’s information.
Epik is a web service and domain registrar provider that specifically serves right-wing clients.
Independent journalist Steven Monacelli from Texas first reported the news of the data breach.
According to the hackers, stolen data includes:
- Domain purchases
- Domain transfers
- DNS changes
- WHOIS history
- Payment history
- Email forwards, catch-alls, etc.
- Over 500,000 private keys
- Account credentials
- Git repositories
- An employee’s mailbox
- /home/ and /root/ directories a core system
“180 gigabytes of the user, registration, forwarding and other information behind the “privacy” web hosting and registrar service Epik, known for hosting fascist, white supremacist and other right-wing content as well as harassment and doxing websites,” reads the announcement on DDoSecrets.
“Due to its size, it’s incompatible with most torrent clients and many users will have difficulty downloading the data. When we’re able, we’ll release a more accessible version of the data,” continues the announcement.
The list of clients of the hosting provider includes the conservative social media platform Parler, Gab, anti-abortion snitch website, pro-Trump The Donald site, the Texas GOP website, and BitChute video hosting service known for hosting accommodating far-right and conspiracy content.
