In 2019, the Southern Poverty Law Center released an article titled “No Way’ Gab Has 800,000 Users, Web Host Says,” which identified Alucard0134 as a partner in Sybil Systems alongside CEO Marcelo Goncalves. The SPLC specifically highlighted Alucard0134’s ties to online lolicon communities. Since this material is viewed as grooming content and CSAM, it remains illegal in most jurisdictions.
But actually, all three Sybil operators were teenagers deep into anime culture. They used their own Sybil servers to host and distribute hentai on various file sharing sites. Austin Gillmann (Alucard0134) was just a preteen when he started and was still only 17 when the SPLC article was published.
From Grey Market to Epik Admin
Gillmann was barely 18 when Epik acquired Sybil in 2019. He was immediately tasked with developing Armored.net, a Dropbox alternative. His GitHub profiles reveal the “grey market” coding style he brought to the company. The repositories shown above, such as loli-safe and moe, are scripts for anonymous file hosting common in unmoderated imageboard communities. These profiles highlight the unprofessional and inexperienced nature of Rob Monster’s technical staff.
The Foundation of the 2021 Breach
These screen captures show the overlap between edgelord internet culture and the actual technical foundation of the alt-tech movement. It proves that the “secure fortress” marketed by Epik was actually maintained by teenagers with zero formal security education.
The significance of this amateurism peaked during the 2021 Epik data breach. The leaked files included Gillmann’s personal inbox, which contained an email chain where Rob Monster shared his own admin username and password with Austin. This reckless handling of credentials and Austin’s inexperience with security likely provided the primary point of entry for Anonymous
