The website for controversial social media influencer Andrew Tates self-help site The Real World was reportedly hacked this week.

The hackers were able to extract a trove of data from Tates site formerly known as Hustlers University that included approximately 794,000 user names, 324,382 unique email addresses and both public and private chat logs, according to the Daily Dot, which received copies of the data.

The breach was reportedly revealed on Thursday in the middle of Tates broadcast of his show Emergency Meeting on Rumble, when the hackers began flooding the websites public chatroom with emojis.

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, according to the Daily Dot.

Its unclear who is responsible for the breach, but the hackers told the outlet that their motive was hacktivism and said that Tates website was hilariously insecure.

The hackers said they provided data obtained in the breach to a pair of websites HaveIBeenPwned, which allows users to track when their personal information has been exposed, and DDoSecets, which publishes hacked documents that are thought to be in the publics interest.

Memberships for The Real World program start at $50 per month.

Tate bills the site as the worlds most advanced financial education platform and claims, making money is a skill. We will teach you how to master it.

The program purportedly includes lessons on e-commerce, copywriting, crypto and stock investments and physical fitness, according to the website.

The incident occurred months after a separate breach that exposed 22 million messages from Real World members, according to Cybernews.

Tate, 37, is a former reality TV star and kickboxer who has faced intense scrutiny for expressing misogynistic views online.

He has been banned by multiple social media platforms for violating policies against hate speech.

Tate is facing trial on allegations of human trafficking in Romania. He was placed under house arrest in August.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs 'kidnapped aide at gunpoint' to confront rival rapper Kid Cudi, court hears

Sean “Diddy” Combs kidnapped a former aide at gunpoint to join him as he attempted to confront love rival rapper Kid Cudi, his sex-trafficking trial has been told.

Capricorn Clark, who worked for the Bad Boy Records co-founder in different roles on and off for several years, told the court he banged on her door and told her: “Get dressed, we’re going to kill Mescudi.”

Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, last week testified himself about the alleged incident in December 2011.

Ms Clark became tearful a few times as she gave evidence – which marked the start of the third week of the high-profile trial. She told the court her situation working for the hip-hop mogul was “complicated”.

Combs, 55, who has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution, is accused of subjecting his former long-term partner Cassie and others to years of physical, sexual and emotional abuse.

While giving her own evidence in the first week of the trial, Cassie told jurors she dated Cudi briefly during a difficult period in her on-off relationship with Combs.

On Tuesday, Ms Clark said she warned Cassie about seeing Cudi, saying she took her to buy a burner phone as she thought it could be dangerous given how Combs might react. “The way she was moving, she was going to get us all killed,” Ms Clark said.

Combs arrived at her home with a gun in his hand on the morning of the attempted confrontation with Cudi, she told the court, and looked “furious”.

She says she told him she did not want to go with him, to which he allegedly replied: “I don’t give a f**k what you want to do.”

Ms Clark said she had never seen “anything like this before”, but got dressed and left with Combs in a black Cadillac to head to the property in the Hollywood Hills.

She said she waited in the car as Combs went into the residence, and called Cassie to warn her. The rapper had her “with a gun and brought me to Cudi’s house to kill him”, she said she told her.

Cudi could be heard in the background of the call, she said, asking: “He’s in my house?”

After the incident, Ms Clark alleged Combs warned her and Cassie not to speak to police and threatened to “kill all you” if they did not convince Cudi not to either.

In the aftermath of this incident, Ms Clark alleged Combs “came at” Cassie with “100% full force”, repeatedly kicking her while she crouched “more and more” into a foetal position and cried “silently”.

The rapper told Ms Clark that if she tried to intervene, “he was going to f**k me up too”, she said.

Earlier in her testimony, she told the court about the start of her employment with Combs and his label Bad Boy Records in 2004.

She said after he discovered she had previously worked for Marion “Suge” Knight’s Death Row Records – the West Coast rival to East Coast Bad Boy – he told her “if anything happened, he would have to kill me”.

Ms Clark said she perceived this as a “very serious” threat. She also told the court about another alleged incident just a few weeks into the job, when some diamond jewellery on loan to Combs went missing.

She told the court she was taken to a building in Manhattan and forced to repeatedly take lie detector tests over five days.

The man who carried out the test told her that if she failed, “they’re going to throw you in the East River”, she said.

Combs was not present for the tests and never spoke to her about them, she said, when questioned by defence lawyer Marc Agnifilo.

During her testimony, Ms Clark mentioned an incident involving fellow rapper 50 Cent’s manager, after both 50 Cent and Combs had done interviews for MTV.

Combs mentioned to the manager that they had some issues and told him, “I like guns”, she said, which she perceived as a vague threat.

Ms Clark also described attempting to leave Combs’s home in Miami on one occasion in 2006, when she was allegedly told to “get the f**k back here” by the rapper.

According to Ms Clark, he told her: “Your problem is you want a life, and you can’t have that here.”

The trial continues tomorrow, with evidence expected from LA police and fire officers.

If convicted, Combs could face between 15 years and life in prison.

Liverpool trophy parade: Man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and drug offences, police say

A suspect detained after a car struck pedestrians at a Liverpool FC trophy parade was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving and driving while unfit through drugs, Merseyside Police have said.

The 53-year-old is described as white British and from the West Derby area of Liverpool.

Police say 11 people are still being treated in hospital and are recovering well. A total of 65 people were injured, they said.

Liverpool parade updates: Follow the latest developments

At a press briefing this afternoon, assistant chief constable Jenny Sims said the car followed an ambulance after a road block on Water Street was lifted so paramedics could help a man who had a suspected heart attack.

The car entered the road from Rumford Street, Merseyside Police said.

Detectives have said the incident is not being treated as terror-related, and no further suspects are being sought.

“There was no intelligence to suggest an incident of this nature would take place,” Ms Sims said.

She also defended the policing operation during the parade, saying the force planned for “all contingencies”.

‘From jubilation to sirens’

Her comment came after the city’s metro mayor Steve Rotheram said questions about how the car was able to enter the road were “legitimate”.

The arrested man remains in custody and is being interviewed by officers, police said.

Merseyside Police is receiving help from neighbouring forces “due to the number of victims”, detective chief superintendent Karen Jaundrill added.

She continued: “Extensive CCTV inquiries are being carried out across the city to establish the movements of the car, a Ford Galaxy, before the incident took place.

“We have already had an incredible response from many of those who were there last night.”
