#102All these recent hacks. Cant any of these companies use proper security experts? I mean they have the funds, why skip this and avoid all the backlash that comes with this. Its expensive but not as much as letting everyone know you messed up hard

#103"The Internet Hate Machine hates fascists."
Patently a certain lie. I would definitively not be that surprised if it turns out this is just some intelligence agency, posing as anonymous.

The torrent is on her website, a few people tweeted that they finally had seeders, but I'm unsure if they got the entire archive. I'm currently trying to download it now, but the torrent file is so large that it's crashing most torrent software (pico, deluge, webtorrent) I throw at it, on 2 machines!
How big is it? I had similar issues downloading danbooru2020 (3.4TB), but rtorrent did the job with only ~5G RSS. Every other client used 4x the memory and never completed the download.
Another commenter mentions that the actual .torrent file is 32MB.

#105Lest anyone be confused, this is Epik the web hosting company[1], not Epic Games the videogame company[2], or Epic Systems the healthcare software company[3]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epik_(company) [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Systems
Nor is it Epic! the digital reading platform for kids[1], not EPIC the Electronic Privacy Information Center[2], or EPIC Provisions the company behind high protein meat snacks[3]. [1] https://www.getepic.com/ [2] https://epic.org/ [3] https://epicprovisions.com/
While I wasn't going to get it confused with any other Epics, I had no idea what Epik with a K was.

Implementing security guidelines is not as easy as paying a security expert. You then have to follow their advice, which means security practice for all employees. It can be costly and cumbersome.
Of course, it would have reduced damaged, such as pointing out that unhashed or unsalted MD5 passwords in a database is... what we've stopped doing 20 years ago for good reasons? :)
But well, if you're a big hosting provider tailoring to white supremacist content, you usually don't need so much security, since apart from anonymous-adjacent antifascists pretty much everyone is licking your boots, including law enforcement. The biggest neonazi forums have been around for decades, and their biggest proponents are well hidden behind the walls of our police stations, banks and parliaments.
Love the reference to Woody Guthrie, too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_machine_kills_fascists

I heard about it yesterday but only the release on Twitter, I haven't seen the torrent. It will be interesting to see which media outlets report on it after so many adopted a policy of not reporting on hacked info.

transmission seems fine

#110Eventually the cloud is going to burst and everyone’s data will be public. The motive will be similar to this one, where a huge blast radius of collateral damage is accepted in the name of harming bad people. Seeing people eagerly download this data that surely includes countless amounts of personal info of non-Nazis shows this clearly.
> Eventually the cloud is going to burst and everyone’s data will be public Why? This was Epik being hacked not AWS or Azure. It’s just a domain registrar. And a shady one at that. Their lack of security is not indicative of the rest of the cloud.

Microsoft bundling a super-insecure root daemon in all their Linux VMs. They developed it, published it on Github, embedded it everywhere, but when it turned out to be a security nightmare blamed "open source supply chain".
