I don't have too. But you should consider your support for anonymous stealing, then releasing that data to stop "dangerous thoughts".
Mr X, I see you repeatedly suspect more and more people that they are defending the group that leaked the data. However, this by no means seems to be the case in this thread. The fact that people are now present here who are probably in contact with the group (or actor) responsible for the hacks, does not mean that they have committed a criminal offense themselves. They are entitled to participate in this discussion, as long as it's done in a decent manner and within the framework of the law and the rules of this forum. And yes, they are rebellious, but that is not punishable, Epik is the same. We've seen other heated debates related to Epik on this forum often.

In another thread I already pointed out that all discussions with all participants actually help LEA in the investigations into those who hacked Epik. It definitely helps Epik and Epik's customers when the perpetrators of the hack can be held accountable, although the chances of this being successful are slim. In a similar way, LEA and cybersecurity firms are negotiating ransoms with ransomware gangs and learn how they operate. I strongly recommend that you learn more about what's going on in the cybersec world and its culture before you insult all kinds of people that they are colluding with the hackers.

> Don't kid yourself. People work for money. This is not a religion or a charity. You hire people, you pay them money, what do you expect. They will try to make you happy. Especially when you hire freelancers from less developed countries. They will tell you whatever you want to hear to be hired. This makes the poll skewed.

Rob Monster: Nah, we call those people whores. We don't hire whores. If you did, that's on you.

Derek Peterson: So desperate people in 3rd world countries trying to survive and doing whatever they can do make their boss happy are whores? Nice Rob. What is chapter and verse for that one?

Okay, I stand corrected, I should not use the term "shill". The proper, professionally acceptable term is "brand ambassador". I'm still a little confused on Epik titles because he just said that someone who works for and promotes Epik only for money is a "whore", so what does that make Monster?

(There is not person living in an impoverished country, struggling to keep roof over their head, put food in their kids' mouths or pay medical bills that cares about some domain registrar in US so basically he considers all these people whores.)

Anyway, this is Rob Monster admitting that he hired a bunch of people from impoverished countries to promote Epik on social networks, including namepros, and elsewhere. Here is the job description for a Brand Ambassador: https://www.namepros.com/threads/hi...ct-managers-and-executive-leadership.1162639/

Attached is Rob Monster admitting to using NamePros to recruit these people, he considers whores.

Well, if receiving fair compensation for your work makes you a "whore" that explains a lot.

No wonder there is such a high level of incompetence.

How Christlike to call people "whores". If someone else did the same Rob would probably be talking about their eternal soul or whatever.

The Bible uses the term "whore" many times BUT not referring to poor people working to survive. This is just so disgusting on so many levels I don't even know what to say. It does explain a lot though, he thinks of his employees like whores, his customers like Johns and he is the CEP (Chief Executive Pimp).

"Whore" is a very strong term. Worse than a "prostitute". I wouldn't be surprised if he views those who accept his "bounty" payments as whores.

Yes, it seems by his definition, that anyone who takes money from him/Epik that doesn't also like him and Epik is a whore.

Mind you, this is the same guy that just got handed $32,000,000 for a smoke and mirrors company based on trash code and white labels and that he has now, only because of the hack exposed the truth, confessed to lying about his products and services for the last 10+ years and hiring desperate people to promote Epik and himself on social media sites in some kind of pump scam.

If someone working for money makes them a whore what does that make Rob Monster?

BTW: This is the same tactic used by fraudster Andrew Torba, owner of gab. He hired a Kenyan spammer that managed 10s of thousands of accounts various social platforms to promote gab and Torba. Torba also mass reported all the conservative blue check marks on twitter to try and get them banned so they would join gab. Monster and Torba are the worst of humans. Their filthy, dirty grifts literally ruined people's lives and even got many killed. For people like that it is called marketing.

The "forever registration" is nonsense, especially without the registry itself on-board.

With .COM for instance the max you can renew for is (10) years which would currently cost around $90 - $100 at most registrars. The "forever registration" is simply a promise to pay future renewals, with no actual guarantee of that.

The entire concept is basically marketing fluff without the registry itself on-board. Even then, there is no guarantee a company like Verisign will always have the rights to operate the .COM extension. They don't own the extension, they are simply operating it under contract.

I would say it is more than marketing fluff. It is a scam to get money from unaware registrants. Money that they will never recover. You can set your domains to auto-renew and move them around different registrars. But this ridiculous "forever registration" forces you to stay with Epik, hoping that you will not keep the domain near 25 years.

Yes. Total scam and at the time he was really pushing hard to sell Epik, at least he told me he was, who knows what is true with a guy like Monster. However, even he kept Epik for a couple more decades:
1) No guarantee Monster won't start dictating usage of that domain.
2) He collects interest on money you prepaid.
3) He keep domains from transferring because Epik is a trash fire.
4) He can inflate revenues on P&L to show potential investors.

I guess it is no surprise that the (2) leaders for worst registrar are offering this nonsense.

https://www.namepros.com/threads/what-is-the-worst-registrar-of-2021.1256284/

Forever registrations are not a thing. "Forever registrations" are like vaporware when it comes to domains.

No one has a partnership with Verisign (aka the .COM registry) when it comes to this. Maybe they have some partnership with some extension that no one cares about.

Also, as I said before even then these are just run under contract. Contracts to run a registry can change. Who knows what is going to happen years or decades in the future?

You are not actually buying anything other than than a promise many years or decades in the future.

It is only good for registrars as they get up front money for nothing other than a promise.

That promise is only as trustworthy as the company making it. You can compare Epik's statements in the past when it comes to security, and their security practices in reality, then decide for yourself how trustworthy they are.

This is going to be news to millions of people now who did not already know this.

Is it from Credit Karma?

Epik breach​

September 2021
In September 2021, Epik's database was allegedly breached. Even if you don't use your Epik account anymore, it's important to protect any info that was exposed.

This could have been sent only via email. I cannot confirm either way because I don't use that service. It would be good if someone else could confirm this who uses Credit Karma or another credit monitoring service. But there are reports of credit card issues around that date:

Yes, it was emailed out to any of their millions of customers whose data was involved in the breach.
