Furries keep the Internet running. Anger them at your peril.

Can confirm, my co-worker is a furry and they keep the Internet running.

I’ll have to admit, I looked at the cliffside pictures during the hype. I fell for the Streisand Effect in its original form.

She looked very terrible in those pictures

As much of the IT sector makes up that group I’m surprised more breaches like this haven’t happened.

Just because you haven’t heard of them, doesn’t mean they don’t happen more often than you think

Vigilante hacker groups don’t necessarily need public attention to get satisfaction

Oh, it’s true. Even without any unlawful computer access, the amount of personal info your average IT furry can access is pretty astounding. There’s furries quietly keeping things running in the background across tech, finance, industry, science, and just about everywhere.

Our Bacon numbers are tiny, too. It might be six degrees for any two random humans, but in the furry community you rarely have to go farther than friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend.

So; if you’ve got a problem, if nobody else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire… A Furry.

From what I’ve heard, sometimes the hacked institutions bow in the form of delaying, or even completely ditching Project 2025-style plans. Other times the institution has enough Russia and/or China ties, that a naive tankie within the group sabotages the whole effort. Yet other times they’re being paid a lot of money and being given certain guarantees (ability of leaving the country in case the hacker’s civil identities become illegal, etc.).

There is a secret war being fought in the digital depths of cyberspace…

Sounds to me like they still haven’t rectified the breach. Cool. 🤘

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A group of self-proclaimed “gay furry hackers” says it breached the Heritage Foundation earlier this month, releasing two gigabytes of the right-wing think tank’s internal data on Tuesday.

The group also cited their objections to Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation’s policy proposal for a second term for former President Donald Trump, as a motivating factor.

The chat logs show a person who claims to be Howell asking a SiegedSec member why the group hacked the Heritage Foundation and threatening to expose the hackers.

In a statement on Telegram, SiegedSec said the goal of the hack was to draw attention to — and combat — the Heritage Foundation’s anti-LGBT and anti-abortion policy proposals.

Broadly speaking, its recommendations involve expanding presidential power, purging federal agencies of career employees, and replacing them with Trump loyalists.

Trump recently attempted to distance himself from Project 2025, claiming he has “no idea” who is behind the plan — even though a CNN analysis found that more than 140 former members of his administration were involved in drafting the mandate.

The original article contains 834 words, the summary contains 173 words. Saved 79%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
