Figured this would happen – they literally grew by millons of users in a week or two with a small team.
It's not like we need to throw it out though... they get hacked just like every other site gets hacked. If you're sharing secret deep personal things on ANY social network on the internet, you're a dumb fool.
This is always going to happen, no matter what new platform pops up. We're in the middle of a culture war and the Authoritarians can't allow dissenting voices to exist unpunished.
from telegram just now:
Gab has been hacked. The whistleblower site DDoSecrets says it will selectively share 70GB of encrypted passwords, private posts, and more with "journalists, social scientists, and researchers."
Gab CEO Andrew Torba acknowledged the breach yesterday (Wired)
SHARE FAR AND WIDE
What if you made an account but never post
Just change passwords anywhere where you used the same password, and you are gtg.
If you don't want the enemy to know your IP address, a VPN is the only way.
Maybe so but the bias in the article (far right platform) may show another agenda. They want to sew chaos so that we are suspicious of any social media platform. Also serves FB and Twitter agenda to not have any competition. Tread carefully - particularly given the handle of the person that posted this.
Yeah why the fuck would you need a throwaway to post about a gab hack? Smells shilly.
Using a throwaway account, just want to get this info out there - if you've been on gab, change your password immediately.
Nice try handshake shill. What a doofuss, if you create an account solely for hurting GAB we aren't going to take you seriously.
Oh no, they were hacked, blah blah. Welcome to reality, everyone gets hacked here.
rt news report has jaxparo with a (they/them) tag.
I wonder if it's the same jaxparo as this gaypal account. https://gaypal.co.il/u/ga0500560
Seems like maybe this guy who has a hard on for Jack Sparrow is mad at the big mean gab ceo who said he was a pervert.
The Irony being that censorship, book burning, public doxxing,... well these are all nazi/marxist extremist qualities and these lefties seem to really embrace all that. How dare you have an opinion!
A lawsuit against DodSecrets should be filed for violating each persons 4th amendment right. Providing such information to even one person is a violation of the constitution. Its time to start fighting back against those who undermine the constitution and our rights!!
whoever is not using randomly generated passwords for every account is doing it wrong
Oh! And it goes without saying, but if you used your gab password anywhere else, change that too.
