    Andrew Tate’s ‘Educational Platform’ Was Hacked

    A joint investigation by WIRED, Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR), and Netzpolitik.org uncovered that US companies legally collecting digital ad data are enabling adversaries to cheaply track American military and intelligence personnel. A collaborative analysis of billions of location coordinates from a US-based data broker revealed detailed tracking of thousands of devices from sensitive US sites in Germany, including NSA facilities and bases reportedly housing US nuclear weapons.

    Elsewhere, social media giant Meta has disclosed for the first time its efforts to combat the forced-labor compounds driving the surge in pig butchering scams on its platforms. The company revealed that it has been quietly collaborating with global law enforcement, tech industry partners, and external experts for over two years to dismantle the crime syndicates behind these operations in Southeast Asia and the UAE. This year alone, Meta reports it has taken down more than 2 million accounts linked to scam compounds in Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, the Philippines, and the UAE.

    At the Cyberwarcon security conference on Friday, the cybersecurity firm SpyCloud shared findings about publicly accessible black market services offering low-cost access to sensitive information on Chinese citizens, including phone numbers, banking details, hotel and flight records, and even real-time location data. According to the firm’s researchers, these services seem to obtain their data through insiders within Chinese surveillance agencies and government contractors, who sell their access. Also at the conference, cybersecurity firm Volexity uncovered that a Russian hacking group has reportedly developed a novel Wi-Fi-hacking technique that involves taking control of a nearby laptop and using it as a bridge to infiltrate a targeted Wi-Fi network. Dubbed a “nearest neighbor attack,” the method was uncovered during a 2022 investigation by the firm into a network breach of an unnamed Washington, DC. client. And finally, researchers explored how the US is calling out foreign influence campaigns faster than they ever have—but there’s plenty of room for improvement.

    Hacktivists have breached an online “educational platform” founded by the misogynistic right-wing influencer Andrew Tate reportedly revealing the email addresses of hundreds of thousands of users as well as the contents of the platforms’ private chat servers. Data from the hack, first reported by the Daily Dot, has now been published by the transparency nonprofit Distributed Denial of Secrets.

    Andrew Tate, the so-called “king of toxic masculinity,” is currently under house arrest in Romania and faces two separate criminal charges, including allegations of forming an organized criminal group and trafficking women across Romania, the UK, and the US.

    The compromised platform, a subscription-based service known as The Real World (formerly called Hustler’s University), describes itself as a “global community” focused on “personal growth.” According to its website, members receive expert training, mentorship, and access to a wide range of educational courses for around $50 per month.
