The other right wing cesspool “microblogging and social networking service” has been hacked.
Far-Right Platform Gab Has Been Hacked—Including Private Data

These huge data breaches never seem to amount to much. What was the result of the big Parlor breach?

The question I find myself asking is, why do these right-wing platforms always find themselves exposed by the simplest vulnerabilities? Parler had an unauthenticated batch-mode API, Gab got eated by a SQL injection - both of these are extremely stupid mistakes that even rookie programmers know how to avoid. I can only conclude that these platforms are built for least cost by people who know enough to be dangerous and who have a good sales pitch, but don’t actually know what the fuck they are doing.
