I've never heard of the controversy behind Epik before this, and looking at their website doesn't give any indication whatsoever that they're politically aligned in any particular direction. I almost transferred some domains to this registrar a while back, but man did I dodge a bullet.
If this was leaked for political reasons, the person who did it should have known that thousands of innocent people would be affected. I wonder how many bystanders are going to lose their jobs or be cancelled because they just happened to come across epik.com when shopping around for a domain registrar?
If you're the type of person who has strong political opinions and you happen to be a recruiter at a company, wouldn't you be tempted to do a quick CTRL+F through this dump for the names on the resumes you're screening? No one will know, and even if you know not everyone on that list is a nazi, it's better to be safe than sorry right?
Branded for life and informally blacklisted just for buying a domain name. That sucks.
As someone with quite strong political opinions on this topic I can assure you that disliking Rob Monster and many of the people he does business with doesn't automatically extend to all customers of Epik.
