Thought I would share this.

These actors won't do that for just any single home user using a VPN, but a commercial party offering these services at large to a certain segment of interesting clients may be in their sights.

This video clip from the Day Of The Jackal sums up the difference between the approach of state level actors and that of hacktivists:

Considering that all of the Epik's code is public and the epic amount of holes in the code isn't Epik in a constant state of hack and if so how can they, in good faith, be taking people's credit cards, transferring domains or anything?

I bet Monster is afraid to announce that Epik is now fully secure because the hackers will post some funny image on Epik's homepage within hours.

This is what has been communicated by Epik in the overview of 'actions taken' by the company:

"Shut down all outside access endpoints into Epik’s systems;"​

There are now several ways to interpret this further. Let's hope^wpray for the best.

I can confirm his expertise.

Welcome to the forum.

Rob reached out to Ray with the pitch that he was interested in purchasing Bitchute

Interesting. When was this approximately?

Interesting. When was this approximately?

2019'ish. I've heard he has done the same with many alt-right companies. His dream is to take over Gab. Always has been. He may have started investing earlier this year and last when gab was down to about $20K in the bank and burning about $40K/month.

I'm unable to check, but since you've provided supporting evidence on other matters here on several occasions, I'm inclined to believe this. This looks like very active acquisition. Relevant because I consider it the motive for the current data leaks by the ladies.

Before he takes over Gab he may want to check out your video naming Gab as a pedo site. That would be a bad business move if you're correct

I told Monster of Gab's pedo problems within weeks of him taking their domain to Epik (see attachment). He called me a liar and threatened me and tried to make me take down by videos exposing gab.

The hosting company Epik purchased, where gab was hosting at that time, was 3 literal teens running a couple servers on leased racks that hosted lolicon and pedo porn doing about $2.500/month in revenues.

Epik currently HOSTS tons of pedo site.

Can you tell more about the relation between Epik and InfoWars? Looks like RM was inviting or congratulating IW with the move of their domains to Epik in a posting on Gab in 2019.

Well it looks like Rob has some explaining to do.
Im gonna see if Torba wants to come defend himself too.
We can go full "judgement day" and air tall this dirty laundry.

They did and looks like they are still there. Monster was frenziedly reaching out to every alt-right character that would talk to him. It was very weird. I don't think he was working with feds, at least at that time, just had some weird agenda to be in charge of all and steer. It was obviously all part of a marketing stunt because he saw a nice little grift niche forming but it was more than that, he wants to be in charge of all, like some European technocrat and be all wise ruling over others.

Thanks. Aside from the technical / security components that have been widely discussed now, I'm interested in motives (of all parties) as well. In any case, your information is consistent with how the leaks were announced.

Yes, motives play a huge role in this. That is my point. All the lies and greed for money and power that made him endanger his users for his desires. Like a developer using cheap materials to save money getting a bunch of people killed in a bldg collapse.

If you had to name 1 reason why you and RM are not on good terms, what would you name?

In addition to InfoWars being an Epik client, Monster also hired their director of IT from InfoWars. His name is Michael Zimmerman (ctrl-f Zimmerman in the transcript https://blog.mollywhite.net/monster-qa/)

Thanks Molly. Guess I have to re-read your transcript again, there's so much info in it.

Anyway, it seems to be a piece of the puzzle in the context of "motives" once again.

"Twitter account @EpikFailSnippet uncovered “all of the domains owned by Michael Zimmerman aka Alex Jones’ IT Director for FreeSpeech, LLC dba InfoWars.” Those include sites we’d expect like infowars (dot com) and its permutations, but also sites named DeathonDemand (dot com), FreeAlexJones (dot com), CivilWarIsHere (dot com), StonePetition (dot com), FiveGKills (dot com), StopFauci (dot com), 5GDeath (dot com), MasksOffUSA (dot com), and more. That account is connecting all the white nationalist dots, including connections involving Proud Boys, and is working on Covid-19 and vaccine misinformation sites and organizations that are coming up in the data dump."​

There are multitudes of reasons it's a good idea to use a trustworthy VPN besides living under those governments.

Maybe...
As for me, I never used any VPNs, except a few visits to Afternic due to their abnormal firewall, where my country is banned ~7 years already (ALL IP ranges).
