Hackers steal treasure trove of personal data from Andrew Tate’s ‘hilariously insecure’ online ‘university’

The website for controversial social media influencer Andrew Tates self-help site The Real World was reportedly hacked this week.

The hackers were able to extract a trove of data from Tates site formerly known as Hustlers University that included approximately 794,000 user names, 324,382 unique email addresses and both public and private chat logs, according to the Daily Dot, which received copies of the data.

The breach was reportedly revealed on Thursday in the middle of Tates broadcast of his show Emergency Meeting on Rumble, when the hackers began flooding the websites public chatroom with emojis.

The emojis included a transgender flag, a feminist fist, an AI-generated image of Tate draped in a rainbow flag, another where his buttocks are enlarged, and the cat character used in the boykisser meme, according to the Daily Dot.

Its unclear who is responsible for the breach, but the hackers told the outlet that their motive was hacktivism and said that Tates website was hilariously insecure.

The hackers said they provided data obtained in the breach to a pair of websites HaveIBeenPwned, which allows users to track when their personal information has been exposed, and DDoSecets, which publishes hacked documents that are thought to be in the publics interest.

Memberships for The Real World program start at $50 per month.

Tate bills the site as the worlds most advanced financial education platform and claims, making money is a skill. We will teach you how to master it.

The program purportedly includes lessons on e-commerce, copywriting, crypto and stock investments and physical fitness, according to the website.

The incident occurred months after a separate breach that exposed 22 million messages from Real World members, according to Cybernews.

Tate, 37, is a former reality TV star and kickboxer who has faced intense scrutiny for expressing misogynistic views online.

He has been banned by multiple social media platforms for violating policies against hate speech.

Tate is facing trial on allegations of human trafficking in Romania. He was placed under house arrest in August.
