SiegedSec, a collective of self-proclaimed “gay furry hackers,” has claimed credit for breaching online databases of the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank that spearheaded the rightwing Project 2025 playbook. On Wednesday, as part of string of hacks aimed at organizations that oppose trans rights, SiegedSec released a cache of Heritage Foundation material.
In a post to Telegram announcing the hack, SiegedSec called Project 2025 “an authoritarian Christian nationalist plan to reform the United States government.” The attack was part of the group’s #OpTransRights campaign, which recently targeted rightwing media outlet Real America’s Voice, the Hillsong megachurch, and a Minnesota pastor.
In his foreword to the Project 2025 manifesto, the Heritage Foundation’s president, Kevin Roberts, rails against “the toxic normalization of transgenderism” and “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology.” The playbook’s other contributors call on “the next conservative administration” to roll back certain policies, including allowing trans people to serve in the military.
“We’re strongly against Project 2025 and everything the Heritage Foundation stands for,” one of SiegedSec’s leaders, who goes by the handle vio, told The Intercept.
Reportedly 2gb of data
The data includes the “full names, email addresses, passwords, and usernames” of people associating with Heritage, vio said, including users with U.S. government email addresses. “This itself can have an impact to heritage’s (sic) reputation,” they added, “and it’ll especially push away users in positions of power.”
(And thank you gay furry hackers 🫡)
i always knew furries would save us but i thought society would collapse madmax style first
These fuckers are finding out how many queer people are very good with computers.
Fursuits cost money, working with computers (typically) pays well; it’s a tale as old as… the internet?
There’s a reason “furries run the internet” is only kinda a joke
If there’s a prize for the Best Headline of 2024 out there, this one should win the trophy.
I mean it’s just got everything going for it!
Whenever I see the words “gay furry hackers” in a headline, I smile.
Amazing, what a time to be alive
I assume they are on Lemmy.
Good job, guys.
Hell yeah! Keep up the good work and dig deeper!
uwu
🫡 to the gay furries
Do the Gay Furry Hackers accept donations?
If I ever find these hackers I’m going to treat them to lunch.
They were gay children then professionals and furries. These hackers have been breathing operational security their whole lives. You probably find them when some Morpheus dude in assless chaps offers you two different brands of poppers.
So it was an inside job from the closet crew of these comic book villains of our dystopian reality.
🫡 Thank you for your service
there are other kinds of hackers?
Well it wasn’t going to be the straight furry hackers.
As a straight furry, I find this offensive. Although it is accurate.
Thank god for the Furries.
