You can’t make this up. Users of cancel the hate app, an app made to report people talking bad about Kirk to get them doxxed/fired/cancelled are now worried they may face retribution as their data has been leaked by a shit app created by right wing grifters who are now deleting posts about the app (shocker). Oh and users were bombarded with donation requests after signing up.
The app is part of a broader effort among conservatives to punish those who have criticized Kirk or are seen as celebrating his shooting at a speaking event on a Utah college campus.
Cancel the Hate was founded by conservative activist Jason Sheppard, who is best known for selling fentanyl testing kits with comedian Roseanne Barr, vaccine skeptic Dr. Robert Malone and right-wing journalist Lara Logan. The website says all reports must “include verifiable information about the submitter.”
The flaw in the app, discovered by the security researcher who identifies himself as “BobDaHacker,” enabled the exposure of user information such as email addresses and phone numbers.
BobDaHacker provided SAN with a sample of data from 142 users, including information from SAN’s test account. The hacker also demonstrated how the security flaw allowed them to remove users by deleting SAN’s test account. A message sent by SAN to the company that built Cancel the Hate’s website and app, DreamTeam Development, LLC, went unanswered.
SAN reached out to a user listed in the leaked data and confirmed that they had in fact downloaded the app. The user, who asked to remain anonymous over fears of retribution, expressed concerns that Cancel the Hate might be a “scam” after receiving an influx of donation requests to their email.
In a post on Facebook last week, Sheppard claimed that Cancel the Hate had received more than 38,000 reports in the first 30 hours after its launch. Sheppard also said the social media app could be used to “better organize and focus on outing the folks that need to be outed.”
Since then, Sheppard’s profiles on Facebook and X, as well as those belonging to Cancel the Hate, have been deleted without explanation. The deletions came after Sheppard was bombarded with complaints from critics of the website.

Users’ personal data exposed
Cancel the Hate says users who submit data on others will not have their own personal details made public. However, a social media-style app launched alongside the website appears to have been exposing just that.The flaw in the app, discovered by the security researcher who identifies himself as “BobDaHacker,” enabled the exposure of user information such as email addresses and phone numbers.
