An online course founded by far-right influencer Andrew Tate was breached by hackers, revealing the email addresses of roughly 325,000 users.
The self-described online university, known as The Real World, offers users “advanced training and mentoring” for around $50 per month. Formerly known as Hustler’s University, the platform focuses on topics such as health and fitness, financial investment, and e-commerce businesses.
“Money making is a skill,” the website states. “We will teach you how to master it.”
On Thursday, the hackers made their actions known by flooding the course’s primary chatroom with emojis they uploaded while Tate was streaming an episode of his show “Emergency Meeting” on Rumble.
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.
I sometimes work for a guy who thinks women shouldn’t be allowed to vote. He’s genuinely kind, but not at all academic. It is entirely the fault of low-effort internet bullshit like this. It’s actually very upsetting to see somebody poisoned by social media in real-time.
I think if you ask people why enough times and just say that doesn’t make sense, they find the flaw in their own poor judgments
