Tens of Thousands of Infowars Accounts Hacked (vice.com)
Joseph Cox, reporting for Motherboard: Tens of thousands of subscriber accounts for media company Infowars are being traded in the digital underground. Infowars, created by famed radio host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, produces radio, documentaries and written pieces. The dumped data relates to Prison Planet TV, which gives paying subscribers access to a variety of Infowars content. The data includes email addresses, usernames, and poorly hashed passwords. The administrator of breach notification site Databases. Land provided a copy of 100,223 records to Motherboard for verification purposes. Vigilante.PW, another breach notification service, also has the Infowars dump listed on its site, and says the data comes from 2014. However, every record appears to have been included twice in the data, making the actual number of user accounts closer to 50,000.Motherboard adds that it tested a few of the login credentials and that they worked.
Probably a false-flag operation to re-direct attention away from Mr. Jones.
That many people actually listen to Alex Jones?
The administrator of breach notification site Databases.
Thanks, editors!
WAKE UP, SHEEPLE!
Just goes to show those commie bastards have no loyalty. Clintons give Russia 20% of the USA's Uranium. They get hacked. Alex says 'Putin is not such a bad guy'. Putin's people steal the accounts of Alex Jones supporters. There is no arguing with evil.
Goddamn gubmint reptilians!
Motherboard adds that it tested a few of the login credentials and that they worked.....
Am I the only person who feels this far exceeds the domain and legal authority of a press institution?

... the Info Wars has.

Tens of thousands of subscriber accounts for media company Drumpfowars are being traded in the digital underground. Drumpfowars, created by famed radio host and conspiracy theorist Alex Drumpf, produces radio, documentaries and written pieces. The drumpfed data relates to Drumpf Planet TV, which gives paying subscribers access to a variety of Drumpfowars content. The data includes email addresses, usernames, and poorly hashed passwords. The administrator of breach notification site Databases. Drumpf provided a copy of 100,223 records to Motherdrumpf for verification purposes. Vigidrumpfe.PW, another breach notification service, also has the drumpfowars dump listed on its site, and says the data comes from 2014. However, every record appears to have been included twice in the data, making the actual number of user accounts closer to 50,000.
I'm not saying it was aliens, but...
You are welcome on my lawn.
I'm no fan of Infowars (although his trolling of The Young Turks was hilarious) but I'm really really hesitant to say this is kosher. Didn't they just break several laws about unauthorized access?
This is a goldmine for scammers.
It's a huge list of morons that will believe anything.
Bilderberg group going after Jones attempting to discredit him. He must be on to something with his latest malarky.
You would be pretty irresponsible to register at Infowars.com using your real identity.
If you do register, you should expect that one day you will end up in someone's shit list, according to the lessons of the history. That day has come.
That being said, if only email and login credentials have been hacked, then it is not a big issue. Website will ask users to update passwords.
What's the value of having the listing of 50,000 emails? Start marketing guns, gold, food ?
Let the conspiracy theories flow! This should launch a record-breaking banner crop of conspiracy addicts and cranks from every basement in the country.
The "power elite" and their Agenda 21 plan overseen by the Illuminati, the Reptilians and Bigfoot, sponsored by George Soros and Saul Alinsky and the CIA/FBI/TSA in conjunction with the Hollywood leftists and the Bilderberg group, working hand-in-hand with the Chemtrail Society and the secret Progressive Cabal, using HAARP and MK ULTRA to convince Americans that everything is normal, nothing to see, move along citizen!
Meanwhile the gay globalist, internationalist, multicultural, pro-Zionist and Technocrats have infiltrated every level of government and subverted the Catholic Church in order to get us to renounce our sacred religious beliefs and promote New World Order by the use of indoctrination camps (built by FEMA and the Masons and the Knights Templar, of course).
Just cruising through this digital world at 33 1/3 rpm...
Won't it be great if the FBI, ideally in collaboration with numerous other three-letter agencies, finds and prosecutes the folks who did this?
"Motherboard adds that it tested a few of the login credentials and that they worked."
Isn't that a felony?
Try an actual encryption scheme and salt your passwords...
... "they" really are out to make the InfoWars people look like idiots.
Not that "they" need much help mind you:
"Oh lookie, a poorly hashed password, what idiot runs their security system?"
Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.
Has he blamed Hillary / the Democratic Party yet?
Since this happened in 2014, did he ever notify his tinfoil wearing followers? If not, they should really be looking at him as part of a conspiracy, as much as he normally looks at... well, everything.
I like you, Stuart. You're not like everyone else, here, at Slashdot.
Infowars & Alex Jones are a front for Zionist cointelpro.
That's some real cointelpro disinfo if there ever was any. I hope you're joking.
The really amazing thing is that 50k people pay for access to this.
I'll admit I was sucked into his Jerry Springer drama for a few days and watched more than a bunch of videos. I came to the conclusion that he is working for a government entity other than our own, probably Russia. I'm all for the truth but the way he does it making our government out to be the devil incarnate reminds me of Nazi propaganda. That man is full of hate and I can't support that. As imperfect as our government is I still think it's 1000% better than that jack ass attempts to portray it. As for the breach... you would think someone who is obsessively paranoid would have had better security?
"... in other news, the sysadmin of "infowars.com" has been unmasked as a Reptilian agent for Agenda 21, a previously unknown terrorist organization. More news at 11."
Therefore, by the (faulty) logic you're using, you're just a cow with a keyboard - osu-neko (2604)
Infowars responded today saying:
"Infowars has investigated and examined the latest dump and determined that the information comes from the 2012 incident. At the time of that breach, Infowars notified users, reset passwords and took numerous steps to harden our systems to prevent further attacks.
Infowars stopped using the MD5 algorithm to hash passwords and began using a more secure method after the breach as well."

Clinton vowed to shut down alt-right sites like Infowars, so maybe this is related? Try to create distrust among Infowars paid subscribers using old news.
Seriously, it's like arguing the difference between fairies and fey folks.
You just outed yourself there, buddy. The difference between fairies and fey folks is that fairies are real and these "fey folks" are a strawman put out by the government to discredit those seeking to expose the fairy cover-up.
Now you're trying to imply that anyone arguing even *that* point is a conspiracy nutcase by conflating the two? Oh, that's *very* clever.
How much are they paying you for this? The lizard people, I mean.
So they say the data is from 2014, well they have that wrong the stolen data is actually from 2011, I received an email from Infowars letting me know they were hacked and changed my password accordingly. They were never hacked in 2014, 2015 or any other year. I have come to realize the Mothers over at Motherboard are incredibly clueless. Get a grip guys, Infowars or any of it's other sites were not hacked in 2014.
disclaimer: I work as an unpaid prison guard.
with up to 20 different computers logged in at the same time from different I.P.'s you have to ask yourself how big of a loss having your InfoWars account hacked really is? They're practically begging you to share the password.
The InfoWars Store account is different than the TV/website login.
Even if it were a new compromise, and it's not, it really wouldn't be that big of a deal.
This story was CONFIRMED fake as FUK! Its a YEARS old compromise, that wasn't even bad when it happened... YEARS AGO! LMMFAO! I dunno who is editor at Slashdot these past few months, but this place is turning into a liberal fukboy hangout... The news quality is FALLING OFF FAST HERE...
Agenda 21, a previously unknown terrorist organization.
Not to be confused with A21, a well-respected anti-human-trafficking organization.
Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.
In this video he briefly denies the hack: https://youtube.com/watch?v=yf4xdGm0Nfs
Jones' dismissal sounds somewhat uninformed. But it also sounds like VICE/Motherboard saw a hashed file and then paid for only a few cracked hashes.
Sounds like Jones is claiming the "cracked hashes" were stooge accounts.
There should have been a headline a few days ago, "Hillary thinks it is worth her time to attack Alex Jones."

Here's the REAL Alex Jones arch conspiracy for you. As a sleeper agent of the Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg, Alex Jones takes on the role of the figurehead of the resistance. After he's built up enough street cred, and amassed a media empire with some muscle amongst people who distrust authority, he starts to shift his message to one that very closely resembles prior elitist think tank papers coming from Bilderbergers and Trilateralists, while still playing the role as opposition to keep his cover from being blown. He becomes the (unofficial) Joseph Goebbels mouthpiece of an upcoming Presidential candidate, who consults with BIlderberg and Trilateral commission members such as Henry Kissinger to learn what his 'foreign policy' will be. Years of melting down over government surveillance, militarized police, and authoritarian presidents, Jones leads his flock toward the candidate that promises he will make all of these (planned for years) policies of the elitists come true.
The Endgame, is that Alex Jones pacifies anyone who would predictably oppose the aims of the Grand Conspiracy by turning his supporters into an army that will work toward it's goals, while they believe they are fighting against it. Every enemy to the Trilateral agenda can be scapegoated, and Alex Jones' personal army will act as the foot soldiers. Then as Don 'Iron Fist' Trump is ushered into office, Alex Jones will introduce him at speeches as they sell every American into the New World Order of fear, war, poverty, terrorism, and authoritarian control.
After a military coup transferred civilian control of government over to the CIA black ops division that masterminded 9/11, Trump is sworn in as the Emperor of the New Republic of America, and Alex Jones is given the position of Trump's Goebbels. As dictator for life, Trump designates in his will, that none other than Alex Jones should succeed his rule once he has been taken in a pillar of fire up to heaven. In 2039, Alex Jones is crowned King of the New World Order for life, where he travels to Israel, and proclaims himself the anti-Christ. You know where this goes next...
Praise Bob.
would think Alex Jones is Bill Hicks.
