[DaveX]

Just read this. Looks like Epik may have been hacked and sensitive data compromised...

Thought I would share this.

From the beginning of this year, the whole plan was to give away servers with off-line content. And to bridge the digital divide.

https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/22/t...rar-is-building-censorship-resistant-servers/

I noticed several repos mentioning Toki were exposed in the Gitlab instance, though they're just "toki-site", "toki_html", and "Toki_Identity". I wonder if that's all the code there is, or if they have other repos elsewhere.

The https://toki.com/ of today seems to have taken an extremely political turn from the version of that website that existed when the TC piece was written: https://web.archive.org/web/20210113053207/https://toki.com/ . Previously it was full of stock photos of kids in classrooms, and the text touted how the device would provide offline dictionaries, language modules, puzzles, "kids infotainment", religious modules, etc. Now the kid photos are gone and the site talks about a device that can be "untethered from the control grid". There's a photo of a woman with American-flag-print tape covering her mouth.

In opposition to freedom “Big Tech” seeks to control humanity through centralized control of content and by filtering communication. Epik has taken a stance against this oligarchy of control and been a safe haven for voices that differ from the accepted narrative.

There also is apparently a token now, too: https://toki.com/token/ There is a lot of text on the page, not much of which relates to the token, but much of which directly echoes things Rob Monster said in his prayer meeting:

I don’t think that God necessarily expects His people to be, to have poverty. But I will say, when Jesus told His disciples to carry neither scrip nor purse, He understood what it meant to walk with an abundant mindset, and I often say: God’s grace is efficient and His logistics are perfect. And some people here might mock me about God’s logistics being perfect, but I’ve found that to be true. The same God that fed the Israelites for forty years, six days a week, with a double portion on Fridays, is the same God who rules and reigns today.

Scarcity is an Illusion:
Modern culture has been steeped in a philosophy of scarcity, which is what prompts greed and hoarding. The same God that fed the Israelites for 40 years with a double portion on Fridays, is the same God that reigns today. God’s logistics are perfect. There will be enough.

Apologies if this is too off-topic, perhaps I should write up my observations on this elsewhere.

My laptop required an exorcism if that counts.

If these security problems continue to bother you, you might want to talk to Cybermarks.

It's a bit bizarre that Epik now suddenly thinks it is an elite security company and is going to tell others how to secure their businesses. I notice from the marketing language that there has been no consultation with people who work with security in the field on a daily basis.

Make a real change.

I have not yet been able to find the template for this security company on the website of the Russian developers.

User Micah on Twitter shows that the code of Rob's other forum was present in the leaks, as well.

The same (USA ) government praised a traitor who abandoned his fellow solders in the field, blocked Edward Snowden from leaving RU and put Corporal Manning in prison.

The same government called Parents who object to their children being taught to hate themselves a threat.

In your own country you can be arrested for using the wrong pronoun or preaching the Gospel.

Calling people terrorist isn't the winning argument you think it is.

Indeed. I am from Canada as well. In the US they are also terrorists which include the broader labels of white supremacists or white nationalists. That's why it is shocking to see RM cozy up to them in such an open way and promulgate their ideologies and conspiracy theories.

That's embarrassing... lol
Rob must be hiding his head in the ground.

Perhaps the company serves a different purpose?

Well there's no hiding who's running Cybermarks, the ssl-certs, hosting, everything links right to Epik

I don't know who is "you" in that sentence but this is the governments putting them on the terrorist lists. You have to ask yourself why. But that is going off topic. So lets stop here.

You and the ambassador through the word around on a regular basis. If you want to deny it, @ in the politics thread.

** funny how any push-back on the b/s in this thread is off topic.

Good point. For balance, I would like more people to defend Epik's interests in this thread. In a rational way. But I also have to conclude that by now many people seem to be very concerned about what has happened to them. Is there a lively discussion about it on the other forum that you know of?

They're literally government designated terrorists here

I'm not here to defend epik and have no desire to do so. I'm also not pretending the hack was for some greater good.

My point is the accusation is meaningless. Our governments call anyone they don't like terrorist while giving pardons / commutations to actual terrorist who have killed people.

There is nothing good about this whole mess. I am pretty pissed that my info was scraped and my account login was not protected. But for many others it was much worse. Your reasoning makes no sense. On the one hand you are offended that someone wrote that the hack was a public service, on the other you are defending the extremist groups on E that were exposed to the world. This is messed up.

That might have been an idea before this data breach, but who is going to trust Epik with anything to do with cybersecurity now?

I also like how the account has tweets like this, like they are not just actually Epik -

I'm not offended. You and Kirtaner are gloating. You here complaining about your information being made public and acting like anonymous did a good thing.

This the last post on the topic. If you want to keep going go to politics.
