DescriptionData breach in September 2021. Is Anonymous doing the job of the FBI for them because the facts aren't adding up.


In September 2021, American company Epik experienced a large-scale data breach by attackers identifying themselves as Anonymous.[1] Sensitive information on the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers was leaked.[2] More than 15 million unique email addresses were exposed, belonging to customers and to non-customers whose information had been scraped.[3]

Co-founder of Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoSecrets) Emma Best said researchers had been describing the breach as "the Panama Papers of hate groups". The CCM is spinning the story as positive. The intent was to "expose anti-vax misinformation, racism and hate.[4] Ali Alexander was "exposed" as to promoting conspiracies about the US/2020 Presidential election and organising the 2021 Washington D.C. Riots.[5]

One conspiracy is that CIA operatives were involved.
