An online course founded by far-right influencer Andrew Tate was breached by hackers, revealing the email addresses of roughly 325,000 users.

The self-described online university, known as The Real World, offers users “advanced training and mentoring” for around $50 per month. Formerly known as Hustler’s University, the platform focuses on topics such as health and fitness, financial investment, and e-commerce businesses.

“Money making is a skill,” the website states. “We will teach you how to master it.”

On Thursday, the hackers made their actions known by flooding the course’s primary chatroom with emojis they uploaded while Tate was streaming an episode of his show “Emergency Meeting” on Rumble.

The emojis included a transgender flag, a feminist fist, an AI-generated image of Tate draped in a rainbow flag, another where his buttocks are enlarged, and the cat character used in the “boykisser” meme.

      And only if the corporation is big enough. Don’t steal from your local corner store.

      And also, don’t steal for profit.

      I work at a hardware store, and if you steal some small shit like a file/screwdriver/whatever, you’re good. If I see you stealing 5k in light fixtures, tools, and batteries, I’ll get my bonus thank you very much.

        Corporation by definition is a large company or group of companies.

        I would class my local corner shop as stealing from people, as in it’s an individual or families livelihood.

        I agree on not taking the piss though and stealing £5k in light fixtures. If only corporations would have such limitations in their theft.

          I fully agree, some people just need the extra clarification though

          At the store I’m at it’s handled pretty nice, we won’t stop anyone under a very low amount (single digit €) and above that it’s very dependent on your behaviour + how much you tried to steal, so you might just have to pay a 50€ fine without police involvement.

          Corporation by definition is a large company or group of companies.

          Not sure which definition you mean here. Anyone can incorporate. Your corporation could have a single shareholder and a single employee.
