Alex Jones’ Infowars store was infected with credit card skimming software
Infowars is best known as the fake news platform used by beetroot-red nutjob Alex Jones to spout wild conspiracies and defame grieving parents. But did you also know it boasts an online store where you can buy vitamins, “neutraceuticals,” and garish right-wing t-shirts?
