    We are in the process of identifying and outting members of your group

    Reputations and lives will be destroyed

    Closeted Furries will be presented to the world for the degenerate perverts they are

    You cannot hide Your means are miniscule compared to mine. You now can either turn yourself in or you can cooperate

    This guy talks like a moronic middle school bully. And the fucked up grammar (especially casing) is definitely on brand.

    Just going from the headline, I assumed the "Heritage Foundation" was a non profit that worked to preserve our civilisation's historic buildings, locations, works of art and culture.

    Turns out they're just bigoted fascists, I guess? Huh.

    A lot of those over in the USA at the moment. I mean, we have our fair share in Europe too, but ya know, it feels like it's reaching a tipping point in the USA where fascists have by now infiltrated everything at all levels... :-/

    Heritage Foundation is the main Republican “think tank.” When Republicans are out of power they hire people who they expect will return to power. When a politician writes a book no one gives a shit about, they buy copies in bulk to try to manipulate The NY Times best-seller list and make it seem popular. It’s just an arm of the Republican Party.

    The equivalent for Democrats is the Center for American Progress. It’s not as evil but it’s also not a real think tank. (Real think tanks hire Ph D’s and produce academic-level work. Heritage and CAP are more like marketing companies masquerading as non-profits.)

    I support gay furry hackers, especially if they target the heritage foundation and other trash like that. If they come to light ill donate funds towards further hacking endeavors.

    Dunno, this seems like he's having fun too, just not clearly enough.

    Or maybe it's really that bad.

    Sometimes they do.

    But usually yes, people who become Nazis (or similar) are not very inventive, not very creative, don't have sense of humor and consider themselves (and some majority they imagine) incapable of those, and those capable - weirdos\geniuses\miracles and such.

    Which is why their instruments of choice are violence and scams - they think they can't do anything else. This also excludes really brave people who consider themselves incapable - because a brave person doesn't have to believe in having some talent to try again and again.

    It's sad really. But at the same time inspiring, since it means that the better we can educate people (or at least teach them bravery, and bravery can be taught) and the more opportunities for development we give them, the fewer Nazis (or similar) there will be.

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

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

    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.

    The information obtained was limited to usernames, names, email addresses, and incomplete password information of both Heritage and non-Heritage content contributors, as well as article comments and the IP address of the commenter. No Heritage systems were breached at any time, and all Heritage databases and websites remain secure, including Project 2025. The data at issue has been taken down, and additional security steps have since been taken as a precaution.

    So you're saying that there was no breach at heritage because... you gave away your users data to a contractor?

    They have no comment on if they were hacked by pansexual furries.

    Well, maybe not exactly "hacked", is that what they mean?

    Do you think there's a real link between furries being gay, like the type of person who is a furry just tends to be disproportionately gay and online?

    Or a sociological link like people who are open enough about sexual preferences will tend to be open about all of them?

    Or a news bias link like plenty of hackers are gay but you don't hear about it, but if they are

    Or is this always just the one gay furry hacker group?

    I think it’s about lines of social taboo. Coming out as gay means you’ve already done something socially difficult, and it means you’re closer to social fringes. It’s what I’ve always suspected for why queer people, polyamorous people, and people into bdsm wind up overlapping more than expected.

    There seems to be a link between neurodivergence and LGBTQ+ tendencies, from purely anecdotal evidence. Perhaps it's because neurodivergent people seem to be more willing to question the status quo and self-examine without the assumption that they must be however society deems "normal?"

    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.
