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.
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?
This feels like a 4chan anonymous thing.
Ha ha.
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?
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
Money laundering.
Sweet
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.
Honestly, if you scam them and then donate the money to progressive causes, it’s as if you collected taxes.
I wouldn’t even call it a scam at that point.
You can scam the women too, you don’t have to be sexist. Republicans are all dumb. Don’t limit yourself.
Is there already a tradwifeveristy?
That’s part of project 2025
Weird “Momfluencers” are definitely a thing even if they don’t call themselves tradwives.
What’s the “Uncle Tom” slur for those women?
From my very limited exposure to them I’d say “Mormon” would be accurate.
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.
Time to become a scammer and financially ruin the kind of dumb men who would fall for this?
That would be over half of the male population in the U.S.
It would be morally indefensible not to!
I don’t know.
I think alienation is what drove droves of young men to this clown, so perhaps we shouldn’t try and alienate them more by scamming them and try and understand what the appeal of Tate was/is and work to fix that.
No, no, no. Tate is scamming them and they love it. They need scammed until they get their fill. In the meantime, why not profit like Tate, Alex Jones, Tim Pool and Glen Beck? Maybe sell some nice, Freedom Ass Tanning lotion.
I only steal from corporations, however bad the individual may be. That’s just my moral compass though.
And only if the corporation is big enough. Don’t steal from your local corner store.
And also, don’t steal for profit.
I work at a hardware store, and if you steal some small shit like a file/screwdriver/whatever, you’re good. If I see you stealing 5k in light fixtures, tools, and batteries, I’ll get my bonus thank you very much.
Corporation by definition is a large company or group of companies.
I would class my local corner shop as stealing from people, as in it’s an individual or families livelihood.
I agree on not taking the piss though and stealing £5k in light fixtures. If only corporations would have such limitations in their theft.
I think i read something or maybe listened to a podcast, where they theorized that Tate got his audience around the time when Jordan Peterson left the “guardian of young men” role. I think it kinda stands to reason that young men don’t really have decent men as mentors or role models these days.
I guarantee the vast majority are around 14 years old
How many 14 year olds have $50 per month going spare?
This fucking guy has an online university? Really?
He has a website where you can pay to hear him yell at you.
No he has an “educational” program he calls a university.
Doesn’t every grifter have their own griftiversity?
Yeah, I suppose they do.
Just noticed, even the logo reeks of petty swindle.
In this day and age, he would have used AI to make the logo.
A University a.k.a. “Buy this ebook to make money online!” and the contents are “Just resell this Ebook lol”.
He had an online university? Was it CHUD-U?
Damnit
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.
He was streaming? Isn’t he about to go to jail?
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.
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.

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 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

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.
worried for all my favorite youtubers who signed up in order to expose how shit the content is lol. hope they used fake info.
