EXCLUSIVE: Hackers breach Andrew Tate's online university, leak data on 800,000 users
The hacked data includes roughly 325,000 users' email addresses
An online course founded by far-right influencer Andrew Tate was breached by hackers, revealing the email addresses of roughly 325,000 users.
The self-described online university, known as The Real World, offers users “advanced training and mentoring” for around $50 per month. Formerly known as Hustler’s University, the platform focuses on topics such as health and fitness, financial investment, and e-commerce businesses.
“Money making is a skill,” the website states. “We will teach you how to master it.”
On Thursday, the hackers made their actions known by flooding the course’s primary chatroom with emojis they uploaded while Tate was streaming an episode of his show “Emergency Meeting” on Rumble.
The emojis included a transgender flag, a feminist fist, an AI-generated image of Tate draped in a rainbow flag, another where his buttocks are enlarged, and the cat character used in the “boykisser” meme.

Hi mom I just enrolled in the university of a guy who traffics sex slaves and thinks all women should be one
-
Their case against him is falling apart. I dont like rapist like everyone else but I hate when innocent people are charged with bogus crimes.
-
Romaine of all places... I would know coming from a similar country where money has much much much higher weight than justice, even for foreigners. Would like to see him trialed in the UK or USA (where money & power still matters but probably much more than what he owns).

I guess their security turned out to be as fragile as their masculinity!

I sometimes work for a guy who thinks women shouldn't be allowed to vote. He's genuinely kind, but not at all academic. It is entirely the fault of low-effort internet bullshit like this. It's actually very upsetting to see somebody poisoned by social media in real-time.

People like Andrew Tate deserve part of the blame for propagating this kind of message, sure. But your client who thinks women shouldn't be allowed to vote is a bad person, and his moral failing is entirely his own. He doesn't deserve pity because he's uneducated and falling for propaganda. He's a sexist piece of shit who thinks women deserve fewer rights than men. Don't make up excuses for him. He's a grown man with agency over himself. He chose his path.
-
Group think and tribalism is very powerful. I used to be a Trump supporter and I remember thinking about how women were more likely to vote for progressive candidates with the conclusion that perhaps they shouldn't be doing that. I now very deeply regret being part of that and I'm so grateful I broke free of all that nonsense. Monkey see, monkey do is very true. That's why it's important that our leaders demonstrate good behavior and set a good example for everyone.
-
I don't really believe in free will, so I take a different position to you regarding individual moral failings. He's obviously confused, and I'm glad I can offer the occasional course correction. If I didn't have compassion, that wouldn't be possible.
-
-
I'm sorry you have to work for him, and I'm doubly sorry for any women who have to work with him. He's not genuinely kind. It doesn't take an academic to see half the human population as humans deserving of the same rights as the other half.
I agree about how upsetting it's been though. My neigbour and I used to share bbq over the fence and shoot the shit about his life. Now he's got crazy eyes and legit thinks and says that my wife and I are evil witches (and whatever qanonsense his feed fed him yesterday). I miss the peace I had in my own backyard pre-2016, but here we are.
btw, a lot of effort goes into the misogynist fascist takeover of our public spaces (including online). None of this just happened because (for example, one genesis myth is) low income white boys were bored on the internet. They've been groomed for hate and it's all deliberate.
-
I think if you ask people why enough times and just say that doesn’t make sense, they find the flaw in their own poor judgments
-
Yeah, no. People don't work that way. Once people have adopted these kinds of beliefs that are overtly divorced from reality, telling them that their views don't make sense usually just hardens their convictions. Being told that they are wrong comes across as evidence that they are right. It validates the "they don't want you to know this" mentality of people who choose various "red pill" social philosophies.

Boot camps for adults that don’t actually want to do any real work along with a get rich quick incel overtone. What a scam.
-
"incel" is key word here. utter trash.
-
-
For anyone not aware, the entire breach has been published by DDOSecrets and can be torrented by anyone.
For research and journalism purposes, of course.
-
Obxiously I get the joke in the name DDoSecrets, but it is funny that denial is the exact opposite of what they're doing.
-
Denying secrets?
-
-
-
These hackers have fantastic values, and the effort they put into this made the world a slightly better place. Good on em.
(next on the block: Jordan Peterson's School for Very Logical Manbabies)

800,000 users...
I need to get into scamming idiots, that sounds incredibly profitable.
-
A University a.k.a. "Buy this ebook to make money online!" and the contents are "Just resell this Ebook lol".
-
If everyone on that list was closely monitored from here, probably the end of school shootings.
-
Oohh, where can I find this list? My wife's ex is one of those sad little men who follows and recommends him everywhere
-
From the above comment:

-
aww, one sec, have to find my tiny violin..
-
-
You're going to need a smaller violin.
-
-
He had an online university? Was it CHUD-U?
-
"University" is a pretty generous description.
-
Where does data like this end up?
I’m asking to avoid it of course
-
It's in the article.
The email addresses from the dump were provided by the hackers to HaveIBeenPwned, a service that alerts users when their credentials are leaked. Those email addresses as well as the chat data were also handed over to the journalism collective DDoSecrets, which hosts hacked and leaked data in the public interest.
-
But its not on the site, unless i missed it
-
-
-
Ha thats pretty funny, last i heard his dopey academy looked like it was using revolts backend code. Which would be a violation of the gpl V3 license aswell.
-
worried for all my favorite youtubers who signed up in order to expose how shit the content is lol. hope they used fake info.
-
800k users? How?
-
We also elected orange Hitler. AGAIN. Nothing surprises me anymore.
-
Pandering to male insecurity works.

I know a big part of his scam is constantly hyping up artificial scarcity, and that if you ever stop paying you get permabanned. So it's possible a number of users might be just the same people but with glasses or fake mustaches, but it's still an outrageous number of people. Sad.

-
He was streaming? Isn't he about to go to jail?
-
i thought he was already in jail tbh
-
-
See, this is what the Matt Gaetz hacker would do if they actually had it
-
Didn’t know he was accredited
-
Who?
-
800 000 users is equal to almost 10% of the population of Portugal.
-
lol
-
This feels like a 4chan anonymous thing.
-
Oh shit, there’s a database of the easily influenced with expendable income?
-
Sadly many people pony up for these scams out of desperation despite being unable to afford them.
-
-
The Daily Dot was provided with approximately 794,000 usernames for what are believed to be the site’s current and former members, as well as the contents of the platform’s 221 public and 395 private chat servers. [...] The Real World claims it currently has over 113,000 active users. If accurate, the site at minimum would generate upwards of $5,650,000 every month.
Jesus, why is this bullshit that large?
-
Money laundering.
-
I mean, that's about one moderately sized cities worth of people out of probably most of the world, since I assume they don't only serve US customers
Edit: for context the state of Nebraska, famously the least populous state in the union has about 1.9 million residents

Idiots falling for authoritarian charisma is one of the oldest things on this planet.

Idiots falling for authoritarian charisma
so hot right now

They said capitalism breeds innovation. They just didn't specify what kind of innovation.
-
It's always bend you over and take it kind though

-
Oh. My. Fucking. God.
That many people, actually signed up, and gave him money.
That's a lot of fucking Darwin awards.
-
Exactly my thought... Tate's U a scam, duh obviously... But god damn... that many suckers.
-
You've witnessed the US election recently, yes? I'm not exactly surprised.
-
-
Wonder what percentage of them are barely voter-age teens who voted for Trump. These idiots are gifting their money to these grifters, and then turn around to complain that they don't have any money because >insert minority<.
-
They are taught to few the world as a zero sum game. What they do not realise is that they are the losers.
-
-
how else could he own 10 buggatis and a huge mansion
-
-
Wow, that’s a big list of suckers
-
If I had no morals, damn. Scamming dumb misogynistic men would be such a killer money making opportunity.
-
-
Ha ha.
