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.
That many people actually listen to Alex Jones?
Yeah...who is Jones REALLY working for?
Wake up! Jones IS the false flag!
Stock is worthless in the upcoming apocalypse!
You're supposed to hoard! Gold, bottled water, aluminum foil (for protective head gear and home protection).
And guns. Lots of guns.
That's what the Illuminati, the Koch Brothers, and the GMOs want you to think!
A PILE OF BLACK SLAG
Normally, I'd make a joke that watching Alex Jones is like watching a really immersive Let's Play of Illuminati: New World Order.
However, (some of) these nutbags seem to actually believe that Steve Jackson Games is in on it: http://yournewswire.com/illumi...
Just amazing. Satire is truly obsolete.

And guns. Lots of guns.
Wouldn't it be more useful to only have a few guns and hoard ammo? Unless your plan is to throw handguns at people and use rifles as clubs, they're kind of useless without ammo. I guess if you wanted to be inefficient you could hoard only loaded guns and just throw them away every time you used all the ammo in one. That way does seem more American than the first way, now that I think about it.
The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for it to be pitted against a slightly greater evil
I'm not saying it was aliens, but...
You are welcome on my lawn.
General Jack D. Ripper: Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children's ice cream.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: [very nervous] Lord, Jack.
General Jack D. Ripper: You know when fluoridation first began?
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: I... no, no. I don't, Jack.
General Jack D. Ripper: Nineteen hundred and forty-six. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Uh, Jack, Jack, listen... tell me, tell me, Jack. When did you first... become... well, develop this theory?
General Jack D. Ripper: [somewhat embarassed] Well, I, uh... I... I... first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Hmm.
General Jack D. Ripper: Yes, a uh, a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I... I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake:: Hmm.
General Jack D. Ripper: I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women uh... women sense my power and they seek the life essence. I, uh... I do not avoid women, Mandrake.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: No.
General Jack D. Ripper: But I... I do deny them my essence.
Time to offend someone
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?
Bilderberg group going after Jones attempting to discredit him. He must be on to something with his latest malarky.
I've got to the point that every time a politician lies, I buy a box of ammo.
I've had to buy three warehouses this election cycle so far.
Agent K: A *person* is smart. People are dumb, stupid, panicky animals, and you know it.
No, I think this is all being orchestrated by the Bilderberg group in tandem with the NWO as part of the conspiracy to take over the world with IPv6.
(And yes, people on the infowars forum actually believe that IPv6 is part of an NWO plot to take over the world.)
I wouldn't be surprised if the average Infowars user reuses his password on every website. You could probably break into a lot of webmail accounts and even bank accounts with those logins. That said, I wouldn't expect the Infowars userbase to have a lot of cash in their bank accounts.
I read the internet for the articles.
Don't laugh, I've encountered conspiratorial trolls who probably think he's reptilian. Annoying bast#rds.
The news makes we want to play a really small violin.
Table-ized A.I.
So, you're the one that is causing all the ammo shelves at Academy and Wally-World to be empty of product!!
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.........
No, no they do not.
People don't deserve punishment for not being as intelligent as you or for believing the wrong things.
I can't even being to imagine the kinds of horrors you could justify with that sort of moral philosophy.
Required reading for internet skeptics
"... 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)
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.
