Reddit’s week appears to have gone from bad to worse, as AlphV (aka BlackCat) has claimed that operators broke into Reddit’s servers on February 5, 2023, and took 80 GB of zipped data. . Furthermore, Reddit has been contacted by BlackCat, once on April 13 and again on June 16, with no response and no attempt to find out what was taken. Following recent fallout from the subreddit blackouts, and the controversial comments from CEO Steve Huffman, Reddit has been having a tough time in the eyes of its users who have been reportedly leaving the platform and setting up alternatives on the fediverse (such as Lemmy or kbin), used by the Twitter alternative Mastodon.

They really wanted $4.5mil for some data? Looks like Spez took a page outta this guy’s book lmao
Does anyone know where they are going to leak that data to the public? A torrent? DL? I2P?
Idk how this one is working, but didn’t many hacker attacks where they leaked stuff end up being sold on the dark net
Maybe they try something similar or they are straight up sending a fax to everyone
Yeah… they are probably going to sell it to the best bidding on the darknet… but because they said they are going public, I though they were releasing it to everyone.
Sounds like reddit is having a bad year.

Oh well. How’s everyone’s Sunday? I’m making pulled pork sliders tonight.

You’ll love it! This is a great sample of recipes.
