Not a good day to be a closeted neo-Nazi, especially if you’re a former member of Iron March. Some dude posting as “Antifa-data” just posted a massive forum database dump include usernames, IP addresses, and emails along with associated messages. Those outed may include active duty military and a one-time Congressional candidate.

Well, that's awkward. Looks like Jacob Oakley, who recently tried (and failed) to run for Congress in Oklahoma, was a poster on the #ironmarch neo-Nazi forum. https://t.co/DObPrwSvib

Wut? Where are you getting that Antifa did this leak? (Hint: They didn't. Another random guy did, Antifa picked it up and posted it on their Twatter).

Don't give credit when credit isn't deserved - Antifa is full of children that are far too incompetent to have the capacity to data security leaks lol.
The story says the poster's name is 'antifa-data', that pretty strongly points to it being someone from Antifa, or at least considering themselves as to be associated with them.

Everything would be cool if they did; that's just heritage.
But. when you seek self deception you try to make it something real. You won't hear racists claim their not racists because they were born on Mars. You don't want the the rationalization for the joke you are telling yourself to also be a joke itself. They would call this keeping the delusional thinking real, or at least I would.

Yeah I see that now, was going based off the original leaker on Twitter whom was apparently just reporting on it.

Oh well, regardless I still stand by the statement that no one from Antifa was the original leaker heh.

You don't think the user behind antifa-data was an actual member of antifa? Or you don't think that person was the one that gathered the information?

Please bear in mind that actually retrieving this information doesn't make one a 'hacker'. Again, odds are very good that it was within an unconfigured/poorly configured AWS DB, and accessible to literally everyone on the planet. Technical expertise need not apply, even if I disagree with your broad-stroke sentiment of Antifa being 'full of children'.

Because that's the standard smear for conservatives when it comes to Antifa. You can see it in this very thread how someone is trying to dismiss any credit for something they view as a positive, while trying to trash Antifa.

At least we're saved from the one British guy's tirades, although I think he's the reason we have these other people doing the routine.

figures. When supplied with evidence that directly contradicts an unfounded belief, just chomp down harder on that unfounded belief and refuse to let go.

....no one is surprised. :D

It's not like anyone ever dismisses the provenance of anyone that simply claims they are ISIS (which is all that is required). But I guess there is consistency here: when you see American Nazis claiming they are Nazis on TV and demanding that all jews and gays and black be removed, you get angry when non-Nazis claim that those Nazis are Nazis, for some reason.
