In an interesting turn of events, internet personality Andrew Tate has become a hacking target. According to Daily Dot's exclusive report, hackers breached Tate’s online course to reveal the email IDs of 325,000 users.
On November 21, 2024, the hackers reportedly accessed the course’s chatroom and inundated it with emojis. The emojis were of various kinds including a transgender flag, a feminist fist, and an AI-generated image of Tate wrapped in a rainbow flag. Another image depicted him with exaggerated bu***cks.
The news has made internet users go into a frenzy as one X user wrote,
“Blackmailers gonna be rolling in cash.”
Social media users backlashed Andrew Tate for not having a strong security protocol on his website while others were shocked to hear about the university's existence:
“buying this at all is insane,” a social media user mentioned.
“All that money but couldn't encrypt messages of the consumers,” a netizen pointed out.
““Andrew Tate's online university” I BEG YOUR FINEST PARDON? ?!?!!??!” a person exclaimed.
Although netizens mocked Tate about the situation, they desired him to be imprisoned:
“I can smell sigma male baits and nazi stuff in those emails, get that bald headed freak into prison forever,” another X user reacted.
“I’m sure all it took was sending him a phishing email to Tate about a Bugatti,” another person commented.
“Not sure why we care about this guy still,” a netizen reacted.
“Dang, maybe he shouldn’t have gone so cheap on security,” an online user pointed out.
Students at Andrew Tate’s university were provided training on fitness, health, and other aspects
This incident happened while Tate was allegedly streaming an Emergency Meeting episode on Rumble. The media outlet received a dataset containing around 794,000 usernames, reportedly belonging to current and former members of the platform.
Additionally, the data included contents of 221 public and 395 private chat servers, along with a list of 324,382 unique email addresses believed to be associated with non-users of the platform.
Hackers claimed to exploit a vulnerability to disrupt the platform by uploading emojis, deleting attachments, crashing clients, and banning users. Andrew Tate’s university, The Real World, reportedly having over 113,000 active users, could generate at least $5.65 million monthly.
They also reportedly shared the leaked email addresses with HaveIBeenPwned, a service for credential breach alerts, and provided the data, including chat logs, to DDoSecrets, a collective that publishes hacked information for public interest.
A source described the breach as motivated by "hacktivism" and called the platform's security highly inadequate. As per reports, the chat logs revealed a mix of motivational content, progress updates, and criticism of the "LGBTQ agenda."
