Alex Jones’ Infowars site hacked — 50,000-plus user’s info now available in digital underground

Raw Story- by Sarah K Burris

Thousands of user accounts at the conservative site InfoWars have been hacked.

According to Motherboard, the Alex Jones-founded site gives paying subscribers access to extra stories, media and information. The accounts for those paid subscribers were hacked and the email addresses, usernames and their passwords are being offered on the digital underground.  

An administrator at Databases.Land gave a copy of over 50,000 unique records to prove the hack was real and Vigilante.PW also lists a data dump of the InfoWars information.

Motherboard verified that the email addresses and usernames were real and the users of the emails admitted they were signed up to Infowars/PrisonPlanet.

The passwords were masked by a cryptographic algorithm known as MD5, which is notoriously weak and easy for hackers to break. It’s still unclear how much information beyond email, username and passwords have been obtained by the hackers.

The news comes on the same day that the FBI released information that election databases were also hacked in Arizona and Illinois.

“We have cross referenced the current dump versus our current db and it is data from an old breach that happened in 2012 and was dealt with at that time,” Buckley Hamman from Infowars told Motherboard in a statement.

  1. “The accounts for those paid subscribers were hacked and the email addresses, usernames and their passwords are being offered on the digital underground.”

    Exactly how hard was it?

    “The passwords were masked by a cryptographic algorithm known as MD5, which is notoriously weak and easy for hackers to break.”

    Figured as much.

    In other words, even AJ himself could have done it.

  2. I’m going to look at this as a glass half full

    Now , in a good way that all those users accounts were grabbed
    Because going forward all those people can claim “it wasn’t them”
    And as my stand would be , “I don’t know what your talking about ”
    Or the plauseable deniability factor just went up

    And 1 good question , who uses their real info anymore ? Really ?

    That’s your silver lining for the day

  3. I can already hear the rant.
    Hillary did this to me for calling her a bully.
    This level of contrived intrusion and theater is not the real issue here.
    The more important issue I really would like to know is….

    Did they get any of Alex and Anthony Weiner’s
    Dic pics..?

    Because that’s what’s important to me.
    We’re talking national security here now.

  4. Most of the account information from pro-iw/aj user accounts will be very helpful to the zio-feds because those idiots can be used to further their agenda.

    It is a well known honeypot for zionist propaganda and misinformation and disinformation. Arabs control hollywood? PUHLEEEASE!?

    This kind of easy hack job only reinforces their fears that some “evillll, outside unknown Muslim/”leftist” bogeyman” has compromised their super secret secret squirrel identity, and they should look to their supreme commander-in-chief/saviors, chump and jones-stein, for further guidance.

    Hell, some may even get personal contact from their masters(i.e. feds) to assist in “protecting our free-dumbs” and play an integral part in saving the amerikan way of life?

    The enemy is and has been within the gates for a long time.

    They WILL be the ones to fuel the gulag roundups and they WILL/ARE the willing servants of the zio-commie joos for sure, and they will feel “patriotic” as hell doing so, unless or until they know and accept the truth.

    They are useful idiots in-training and don’t even realize that their “good intentions” are actually the means by which their true enemy uses them to their advantage, against US.

  5. Next thing you know, Mike Rivero of WhatReallyHappened will make the same claim, and, of course, blame it on Hillary…Methinks ol’ Mikey should worry more about what Hillary, who will supposedly shut down all sites of her opponents and is right now having her opponents assassinated, will do to him if she becomes prez! Shutting down his site will be the least of his problems!
