Andrew Tate’s “The Real World” platform has been breached, again, leaking user data including emails and private chat logs. Explore the details of the hack and leaked data.
Andrew Tate, the controversial social media influencer currently under house arrest, is the newest victim of hacktivism. According to reports, unidentified hackers have successfully breached his online self-help platform, The Real World, formerly known as Hustler’s University.
The incident occurred when Tate was busy streaming the latest episode of his show Emergency Meeting, which airs on Rumble. This attack has resulted in the exposure of sensitive user data, including usernames, email addresses, and private chat messages.
For your information, The Real World is an online university that focuses on health, fitness, financial investment, and e-commerce businesses with over 113,000 active users. It provides advanced training and mentoring at $50 per month and also teaches users how to master money making skills.
The hackers, as per DailyDot, exploited a critical security vulnerability in the platform. After the successful attack, they flooded the primary chatroom with pro-feminist and LGBTQ+ emojis, temporarily banning users, and deleting attachments.
Their posted emojis included transgender flags, feminist fist, Tate’s AI-generated image draped in rainbow flags, another one with his buttocks enlarged, and cat characters used in his “boykisser” meme.
What is more concerning is that according to DDoSecrets, the hackers also managed to access a vast amount of user data, including over 794,000 usernames comprising current and former members, the content of The Real World’s 221 public and 395 private chat servers covering around a dozen campuses, and nearly 325,000 email addresses of users removed from the platform.
Tate is a controversial figure known for his toxic masculinity. The leaked data, now publicly available, offers a glimpse into the community that has formed around Tate with users expressing concerns about the LGBTQ agenda, the matrix, and recurrent shooting incidents. The hackers claimed their motive was hacktivism and Tate’s site being ‘hilariously insecure.’
It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time Tate’s online platform has been compromised. Earlier this year, a data breach exposed millions of user messages and personal information due to a MongoDB database containing 88 gigabytes of data belonging to 968,447 user accounts being exposed since April 8, 2024. These repeated security failures raise serious questions about the platform’s commitment to protecting user data and maintaining a secure online environment.
