Somebody clearly read the fake news and doesn't have a Gab account.
Gab doesn't have private messages, and Gab doesn't keep IP addresses.
So, where is the evidence of a 'hack'? Care to show me since you are so 'informed' about it? And a link to the site hosting the public information isn't proof of anything other then someone wrote a script to gather all posts on gab and put it in one file. I have seen the 'file' it doesn't have shit in it.
It's my understanding that someone used an SQL injection attack. Apparently the back end of Gab is freely available but Gab is out of date and got hit by an old bug.
Now the question is was there anything useful to steal? This post seems to indicate that they're going after the owner and the blackmailing is just an attempt to make him look bad. Even if they post some porn all he has to do is deny it and that's it. This was all done maliciously so you could technically deny anything the bad actors do. I find it odd that the person who stole any data thinks that they are valuable enough to pay off or even bother listening to.
Any actual evidence Gab has been 'hacked'?
All I have seen is a repository of publicly available shit anyone could download if they took the time to do it.
I think this is more publicity stunts by Torba after the Trump name drops for 3 weeks straight didn't do shit for him.
