      While there is an unconfirmed report of Parler being hacked, the screenshot circulating of a Parler database password is old. I looked into the database leak in July and confirmed thanks to @WhiskeyNeon that it was for a site not held on the same infrastructure as the main site. https://twitter.com/kevinabosch/status/1331339530318843911 …

      As you can see in an archived version of the configuration file, the page was discovered as early as July of this year. This isn't to deny that a hack may have taken place, but that this screenshot is almost certainly unrelated.https://archive.ph/Mll5H

      The leaked database was linked to a WordPress page that Parler seemingly used for blog posts and announcements. It would not have hosted user data. The main Parler site is not based on WordPress.

          As noted by @JaneLytv, the individual claiming to have seen hacked data from Parler has a history of false claims.https://twitter.com/JaneLytv/status/1331382801984319488 …

          The man who said "I wish I could unsee what I've seen" abt *unconfirmed* Parler hack has spread false/irresponsible info on Twitter before, if I remember right. Take care. As @MikaelThalen points out, screenshot floating around is from summer, not recent. Wait for verification.

          Further insight into the Parler database screenshot from @WhiskeyNeon, who aided me in investigating the issue back in July.https://twitter.com/WhiskeyNeon/status/1331388892570906626?s=20 …

          To further: The screenshots are from a WordPress installation hosted by a managed WordPress provider. This is a typical move for marketing teams. The actual site appeared to be completely hosted in AWS and development in a colo. The WordPress site didn't even have content on it. https://twitter.com/JaneLytv/status/1331382801984319488 …
