Looks like the seeder is gone, but they were online just barely briefly enough to get the torrent metadata. For those that are curious what's in there: https://gist.github.com/Q726kbXuN/57f3825493d04867c3d192fd93...
I wouldn't be poking any bears had I been running that setup.
Eventually 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.
How many just regular folks would actually pick Epik? Why?
I was curious about prepaying for years of my domain in advance, and stumbled upon Erik.
Epik offers a “forever registration” where you get a domain “forever” for something like $500. I was seriously considering it before I heard about all the negative shit associated with them.
I suspect they’ve sold that service to at least a few average Joe’s.

I've quite literally never heard of them, and wouldn't click that link if it came across an email... :/ Also... > When you purchase a domain name through Njalla, we own it for you. However, the agreement between us grants you full usage rights to the domain. Whenever you want to, you can transfer the ownership to yourself or some other party. No?
Njalla is Peter Sunde's project. It's a very high credential, the only possible better thing would be if Edward Snowden ran a registrar. The ownership is a hack to workaround for some legal issues (e.g. for .es domains you're not allowed WHOIS privacy). Although post-GDPR most whois servers dramatically restricted public access, so maybe it's less important now.
Lest 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/

Only two left to go?

Yeah. For a group claiming to be Anonymous, they care a whole fucking lot about 'lmao muh politics' rather than doing shit for the lulz.
Why can't politics be fun? Also, do you remember a time when Anonymous wasn't about politics? I clearly remember some strong political positions against the Church of Scientology, against the surveillance apparatus, etc..
The mudkipz catchphrase was also very forced. Reminded me of the "hello fellow young people" meme. Of course, it might all be intentional.

I intend to for future domain registration. - Register.com is an annoying cesspool of value-add upsells and is extremely expensive in the process, with added cost to not have your personal info attached directly to your domain whois. - GoDaddy, other than the creepy ads, has shown plenty of willingness to remove domains hosting content that they don't like, even if it's legal. - I think Google is a registrar, but I'm…
I've heard https://njal.la is pretty good.
Anonymous strikes again, this time with a well known web registration company with a decade of data. This is a blatant example how poor security management leads to the hardship of thousands if not millions of regular people. Now their private details have a risk of being public and fully open to scrutiny. And its not just some simple data breach they allegedly stole domain purchases and transfers, account credential…
Google around for their very colorful history. These are bad hombres.

Yup. Security is a lot of time an after-thought and a burden to quiet a few companies since security is something that is not of immediate value. Last spring we had a speaker from northrup-grunman who talked about the need to push for a DevSecOps strategy.
> security is something that is not of immediate value Yeah exactly. It's a huge cost upfront and zero immediate benefits. The investment is worth it to prevent losing value due to a breach, but unfortunately it seems pretty OK for for-profit companies to "loose" data from millions of their customers without facing any sort of consequences. I'm not exactly saying it should be entirely okay for non-profits, but these…
As for the for-profit companies. For some reason there is not enough value placed on security in the eyes of the public. Sony is still a major player in the gaming industry, even though the massive hack years ago. Not saying Sony should not be in business, but I don't think it made any major impact on their ability to sell consoles. Security compromises don't seem to have nearly the same impact as other kinds of compromises.

If you truly believe in freedom of speech, it makes sense to support companies who enable those ideals. I'm not familiar enough with the company/drama/story here, but if Epik does not do anything "problematic" other than allow "problematic" speech, then I would consider them. A certain quote often mis-attributed to Voltaire comes to mind [0]. It appears they do have some lines drawn in the sand for free speech, they…
People disagree about the definitions of crimes involving publication. For example, almost everyone is against the freedom to disseminate child porn under the excuse of "free speech." Then, some people are against free dissemination of ISIS propaganda, especially when it contains concrete calls for violence. Then again, disseminating Neonazi propaganda with similar calls for violence is not more legal than ISIS propaganda in most countries. Revenge porn and sites dedicated to slander and libel are prohibited in most jurisdictions, too.
The US has lax application of laws against right-wing calls for violence but is well-known to enforce against free speech if other groups like Islamists are involved. In the past, communists and civil rights advocates were also not too welcome. Other countries apply laws more stringently. In various modern and democratic countries content hosted by Stormfront is simply illegal and various posters on their forums commit crimes. Their servers would be raided and shut down by the police if they were under the country's jurisdiction. The US was never governed or occupied by full-blown Nazis, so it is only natural that people tend to be more liberal about these matters there, but that's more of a historical coincidence than an argument.
