Hacktivist group Anonymous has reportedly hacked web domain registrar Epic and stole “a decade’s worth of data,” which includes a lot of information about their clients and domains.
Monacelli shared a “press release” by hackers on 4chan, declaring that they stole all of Epic’s customer information and data from an Epic employee’s inbox, which they claim was “fascist’s actual ownership and All it needs is management to explore “the side of the Internet that has turned away from researchers, activists, and, well, almost everyone else.”

SCOOP: A group of “hackers on steroids” gained access to a large dataset belonging to Epic, the web host of the Texas GOP website, the Texas Right to Life website, and the anti-abortion Snitch website. pic.twitter.com/2meRX9CAPm— Steven Monacelli (@stvanzetti) September 13, 2021
Later, it was announced that the hackers recovered 180 gigabytes of data and that it would be released for public download.
It also hosted the Texas Republican Party website and briefly hosted a pro-life whistleblower site where Texans could report those trying to have an abortion, although they were removed for violating Epic’s terms. .
The company’s founder and CEO, Rob Monster, has also been accused of being anti-Semitic and making rhetoric similar to neo-Nazis. However, he has vehemently denied any of these allegations, and has maintained that he only strives to advocate for freedom of expression.
Furthermore, Monster also denies that Epic ever hosted or registered the Daily Stormer.
Speaking to Gizmodo, Epic said they were unaware they had been hacked, but they would investigate.
This is a developing story.
