Televangelist Kenneth Copeland who mocked Biden victory with maniacal fake laugh 'hit by Russian hac

Televangelist Kenneth Copeland who mocked Biden victory with maniacal fake laugh ‘hit by Russian hackers’

MILLIONAIRE televangelist Kenneth Copeland has allegedly been hit by hackers who are threatening to release 1.2 terabytes of data about his business.

Copeland - who went viral over his maniacal fake laugh at Joe Biden's election win - has become the latest high profile figure targeted by ransomware gang REvil, according to a post on the gang’s dark web site.

Russian hacking group REvil published on their dark web headquarters, Happy Blog, that they had accessed Copeland's firm and presented a string of screenshots as alleged evidence.

The gang has previously threatened to auction off data allegedly stolen from pop star Madonna, released legal documents relating to Lady Gaga, and tried to extort Donald Trump.

The group uses ransomware - a type of software often unknowingly installed by the victim - to break into a networks and encrypt them.

for interfering in politics and promoting candidates. I hope President Biden will order the IRS to vigorously enforce the Johnson Amendment. This shit needs to end.

No really, I'm not trying to be funny.

The Russian hackers are messing us up completely and they're not going away. This is a nightmare, and pretty soon we'll all be dancing to their tune. If we don't recognize this threat and stop them now, we're really stupid.

...then for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Hopefully, this will show everyone what I, and other thoughtful Christians have known for a while. The type of gospel people like Copeland preach, the gospel of prosperity, is very much against the Lord's teachings. So, yea. Copeland can go get stuffed.

If he pays the ransom they might not release the data. What a shame that would be. Let's hope he doesn't pay. Or better yet, he does pay and they release the data anyway.

Neither one is a bowl of cherries. I saw a video of him laughing. That was some scary stuff man. Right out of some movie like the Exorcist or something.

but they seem to be out for money and nothing else.

Honestly, I wouldn't want to try to extort Madonna, she's admitted nearly everything blackmailers would try to use against her.

I just hope there are people in Copeland's environment who will see him outand about and go "HA HA HA!" at him.
