The whistleblower site DDoSecrets says it will selectively share 70GB of encrypted passwords, private posts, and more with "journalists, social scientists, and researchers." Gab CEO Andrew Torba acknowledged the breach yesterday.

If you're on GAB change your password quick.
Pretty sure I made an account and didn't even get a chance to shitpost with it. Lost the password/can't remember it. Any hackers who find it please let me know
Got your password. It is.......

You' re welcome.
The passwords they accessed were still hashed, so unless you used a weak password there isn’t much danger. It’s still a good idea to change them or better yet use a password manager that generates different high entropy passwords for every site. I don’t have to worry because I used a random 20+ character password stored in a password manager. There’s simply no way they are cracking it based on a hash value.
Group passwords were in plaintext. Those should be changed ASAP, but most people don’t have password protected groups.
It was a matter of time. Another honeypot
It was not a honeypot. Founder is based, and moreover, he went to great lengths to even stand the place up. If it was a honeypot, they would have made it easy.
I mean founder (AT) was as based as DJT was.
It therefore depends whether you believe that DJT' win in 2016 and subsequent defeat in 2020 was all part of the plan (arranged) or not.
Just because someone strongly appears to be anti or has been persecuted by mainstream does not mean that they do not actually work for the deep state. This may have been a very long plan to construct and maintain a dissident profile and build a honeypot. Take Alex Jones for example.
No. No its not.
Change the password? Best delete the account and leave for greener places !
It was a matter of time, right? They had banks denying them access to funds. What did Andrew Torba expect?
Someone ban this shill.
That's true. I think gab makes this explicit somewhere in their information about account security and deletion
