Andrew Tate's 'The Real World' Online University Suffers Gigantic Data Breach

Hacktivists have recently targeted Andrew Tate’s online university, The Real World, stealing data from almost 800,000 users, as first reported by the Daily Dot.

A group of hackers who were critical of Tate’s platform, which promotes “digital skills” including trading cryptocurrency and marketing, took action, claiming they breached the university’s security because it was “hilariously insecure.”

The hackers uploaded an array of emojis to The Real World’s chat servers, and they posted a massive collection of the platform’s chat logs to the transparency nonprofit Distributed Denial of Secrets. The trove, according to DDOS, includes 794,000 usernames, 324,382 email addresses of users who were removed from the platform after failing to pay, and messages from the platform’s 221 public and 395 private chat servers.

Tate’s fans can check if they were affected by the breach on Have I Been Pwned, a website that alerts users when their data has been compromised.

Tate, known for his appearances on the UK’s “Big Brother” and his social media beefs, is in hot water with the law. He’s currently under house arrest in Romania, facing trial after being charged with rape, human trafficking, and forming an organized crime group to sexually exploit women. Tate is also wanted in the UK to face allegations of sexual assault, charges he denies.

It’s worth noting that the stolen data doesn’t include sensitive information like Social Security numbers or financial data. However, if you were a The Real World user, you should change your passwords, especially if you reused them for other accounts.
