The full names, addresses, credit card numbers, and unencrypted passwords of approximately 110,000 Epik users were leaked through the massive hack by Anonymous.
One of the users whose data was leaked was Joshua Alayon, a retired real estate agent based in Pompano Beach, Florida.
“We don’t want to be with anyone with thoughts or motives like this,” said Rick Rapp, owner of the brokerage firm that employed Alayon TWP.

Anonymous co-founder and security researcher Aubrey “Kirtaner” Cottle said TWP The hack was motivated by their frustration with Epik, which hosts many right-wing extremist websites in the name of “free speech”.
“Everyone is fed up with hatred,” said Cottle. âThese far-right players play dirty. Nothing is out of bounds for them, “she said TWP.
In response, an epic spokesman said TWP that they “do not advocate or condone any particular ideology, and we are uncomfortable with calls to censor those who use our services.”
The spokesman added that the hack was “an outrageous violation of our users”.
