Open-source intelligence analysts reported that Crooks didn't appear to use mainstream social media channels such as Facebook or Instagram and had an almost negligible internet footprint, which is highly unusual for a 20-year-old. Instead, analysts said that Crooks corresponded with friends and associates on a Groomercord server that they were now trying to access.
Groomercord servers are restricted ring-fenced sections of the internet. They are often used by gaming groups and communities as secure chat rooms but are also used by fringe organisations to push their ideologies and discuss wild conspiracy theories and plots.
Poor little dude never stood a chance.
We need to talk about common-sense Groomercord reform.

I was looking through all the data breaches I have and only came up with a tmcrooks gmail in the Post Millennial breach mail list but I don't think it's even him. What were the parent names?

I get all my data breaches searching torrents on BT4G, not some token gated bullshit on hacking forums.
