The co-CEO of Daily Wire, Jeremy Boreing, announced on Twitter a few moments ago that Matt Walsh was hacked last night and the hackers got everything:
You may be aware that @MattWalshBlog had his @Twitter account hacked last night.
What you may not know is that the attack went well beyond Twitter.
The hackers have managed to gain access to, well, everything, including twenty years of Matt's emails.

What scandalous information will the hackers find in Matt's email? I do not know. I'm sure I said things in my twenties that I wouldn't feel great having aired publicly.
What will @realDailyWire's response be to things 20-year-old Matt may have said?#LOL

I’ve checked Walsh’s Twitter account repeatedly today and it still looks to be in a compromised state. No tweets from Walsh yet.
But the point of Boreing’s Twitter thread is bigger than just Walsh getting hacked. He details the last 24 hour for people in his company:
This hack, as terrible and invasive as it is, is just another day at the office for us.
Here is a brief look at just the last 48 hours @realdailywire.

First, @MattWalshBlog was demonetized on @YouTube for violating some opaque, arbitrarily applied standard or another related to speaking the biological truth about Dylan Mulvaney.
I can't be more specific because the capriciousness is the point for these platforms.

Just 24 hours later, @imbrettcooper was PERMANENTLY BANNED from @tiktok_us.
Her crime?
I don't know, because, again, the capriciousness is the point.

At the exact moment @MattWalshBlog was being hacked by criminals, @michaeljknowles was being evacuated from @PittTweet because of a violent riot protesting his speech in which trans activists and sundry other leftists BURNED MICHAEL IN EFFIGY and tussled with police.

That's just the last 48 hours, and that's in addition to all of the usual death threats, harassment, and corporate targeting that are our daily companions @realDailyWire.

Boreing goes on to make the point that nearly every institution has it out for them because they don’t enjoy the same ‘freedom’ of expression that those on the left enjoy.
I can sympathize with that. YouTube dumped us last year and put a crimp in what we can do. Finding ‘brand’ advertising companies that pay like Google is very difficult.
