“Neither Dell’s story nor his Twitter feed contained hacked materials. He also claimed that the article did not contain the hacked material, and neither did Cameron ask for any stolen data. Hemal Jhaveri, Wired’s managing editor, weighed in on Wednesday, demanding that Twitter reinstate Cameron’s account.

“Doomed” also claimed that he was bored and felt like “stirring up some drama” when he hacked Walsh’s phone with help from an insider. The carrier will then reassign the victim’s phone number to the hacker’s SIM card, allowing the hacker to get the target’s passwords and two-factor authentication. The alleged hacker, identified as “Doomed,” said that he used a method called SIM swapping, in which a hacker would contact the victim’s mobile carrier posing as that person and claim to have a SIM card to activate on their account. In a Wired story published Wednesday, someone purporting to be the person behind the hack provided Cameron with screenshots of “an apparent copy of Walsh’s W2 tax form,” “emails between Walsh and the conservative commentator Steven Crowder,” and “a photo of Walsh holding up a paper dated November 2020-apparently used to authenticate some type of accompanying message.” “I’m sure I said things in my twenties that I wouldn’t feel great having aired publicly.” Journalist Booted From Twitter Over Hacked Materialsĭell Cameron, a senior reporter for Wired, was permanently banned from Twitter after he asked for and obtained hacked materials from Walsh’s personal email account.Īccording to screenshots shared by Cameron on Mastodon, Cameron was “permanently suspended” for violating Twitter’s rules against the distribution of hacked material. “What scandalous information will the hackers find in Matt’s email? I do not know,” Boreing said. “The hackers have managed to gain access to, well, everything, including twenty years of Matt’s emails,” Boreing wrote in a Twitter thread documenting a cluster of “flagging, banning, throttling, shadow banning, and demonetizing” efforts against Daily Wire personalities across multiple social media platforms within a span of 48 hours. And there will be consequences.”Īccording to Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing, the hack went beyond Twitter and extended to many years of personal emails from Walsh. “Apparently the hacker had an ‘insider’ who gave him access to my phone,” he wrote. Walsh, who was mocked for the trolling messages that were not sent by him, said an insider appeared to have leaked his personal information to the hacker.

Walsh’s Twitter account was compromised on Tuesday evening, with the profile being changed to promote a rap Spotify account called “Sassy Shooters.” The hacked account was used to make a series of unhinged posts before Walsh regained control, including ones that called podcast host Joe Rogan a “pedophile” and Daily Wire commentator Ben Shapiro a “closeted homosexual.” They’re still working to find out exactly what happened, who did it, and how.” “As soon as the hacking attack started, I was on the phone with our tech team, security team, lawyers and executives,” said Walsh of Daily Wire’s “What Is a Woman” documentary in a statement on Twitter Thursday. Conservative commentator and filmmaker Matt Walsh said his team is still working to find out exactly who hacked his Twitter account, noting that an “insider” might have given the hacker access to his phone.
