As a furry

The Heritage Foundation can get absolutely fucked.

RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com on 10 Jul 2024 17:39 next collapse

By a brown bear?

coffeetest@beehaw.org on 10 Jul 2024 18:02 next collapse

More likely a pink panda, but let’s not split hairs.

RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com on 10 Jul 2024 18:04 next collapse

I’m fine with both to be honest. They can do shifts if they want.

Yes I think they would like that

sunzu@kbin.run on 10 Jul 2024 17:46 next collapse

Bootlickers in shambles...

I wonder if they go on record calling us peasants haha

pr06lefs@lemmy.ml on 10 Jul 2024 17:49 next collapse

ok where these files at?

From their telegram:

final hack~

over the past 7 days, we have released a hack every day, from NATO to Israel, we attacked many. we have one more gift for you all, its one minute till midnight so i’ll start the show~

we hacked The Heritage Foundation :3 (holy moly!!!) The Heritage Foundation is a conservative think tank in America, among the most influential public policy organizations. this organization is responsible for leading Project 2025, an authoritarian Christian nationalist plan to reform the United States government.

Project 2025 threatens the rights of abortion healthcare and LGBTQ+ communities in particular. so of course, we won’t stand for that! ^-^

we have gained access to The Heritage Foundation’s database, with user data, logs, and other juicy info :D we also accessed 200GB+ of other, mostly useless, files in their server. these useless files wont be leaked.

mew mew i wonder what would happen if we leaked the passwords, email addresses, and full names of every user :3 every US government employee, even the Heritage president Kevin Roberts.

be gay do crime~

LEAK: mega.nz/file/cD8mHRjD#YGxykiDiQMdvMz1SneiwPL6zTDB…

thank you to verty for greatly helping with this hack!

dear heritage foundation,

get in touch with us! we will make fun of you endlessly :3

love, gay furry hackers <3

#OpTransRights

thank you everyone who has supported us. we have an important announcement coming soon.

Why put out a leak using mega‽

Why not a torrent which is decentralised and not annoying like Mega

bolexforsoup@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 10 Jul 2024 21:48 next collapse

I’m sure people will be seeding it in no time

LordJer@beehaw.org on 10 Jul 2024 22:33 collapse

Anyone got the file to open? I tried using mega but ran into problems.

DrJenkem@lemmy.blugatch.tube on 10 Jul 2024 22:29 collapse

If the feds connect to the tracker before the file is fully seeded, the IP address of the lone seeder will be exposed. Torrents are good for their resistance to censorship, but they’re bad for privacy.

xavier666@lemm.ee on 11 Jul 2024 07:45 next collapse

TIL

jarfil@beehaw.org on 11 Jul 2024 11:05 collapse

That can be solved by setting up multiple partial seeders, so none has the full file, but as a whole they can still seed it.

And/or seeding over I2P.

Fuzzy_Red_Panda@lemm.ee on 11 Jul 2024 18:02 collapse

“The file you are trying to download is no longer available.” 🙁

NGnius@lemmy.ca on 12 Jul 2024 20:24 collapse

Seems like they’re keeping the link up to date on their telegram t.me/s/SiegedSecurity

luckystarr@feddit.org on 10 Jul 2024 17:54 next collapse

I wonder if a verifiable link to Trump can be made through network (as in graphs) analysis of the people and their connections in that list.

u_tamtam@programming.dev on 10 Jul 2024 18:29 next collapse

Would that make a difference?

luckystarr@feddit.org on 10 Jul 2024 20:04 collapse

Doubtful, but, though unlikely, perhaps some media house would want to pick it up?

Thorry84@feddit.nl on 10 Jul 2024 19:02 collapse

It’s an official act, so total immunity applies.

What isn’t an official act you say? Well that’s a good question, but simply put anything that isn’t an unofficial act. But then what’s an unofficial act I hear you ask? I’ll let you know once we have found one, but so far none have been found and it’s possible none exist.

ramble81@lemm.ee on 10 Jul 2024 20:04 collapse

Close… the way it was phrased it basically becomes up to the Supreme Court to decide what’s “official”

pythonoob@programming.dev on 10 Jul 2024 23:24 collapse

He’s not currently president, so it wouldn’t be an official act, no? The wording doesn’t give the president immunity for life. It has to be something done through the office of the president.

Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me on 10 Jul 2024 19:15 next collapse

Heritage President Kevin Roberts made news last week when he said the American right was “in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

They’re really not hiding it anymore, they straight up want another civil war.

unconfirmedsourcesDOTgov@lemmy.sdf.org on 10 Jul 2024 22:31 next collapse

They were never really hiding it, we just all assumed they were insane fringe ideas and nothing would come of it. Things have changed…

mindyabeesnes@beehaw.org on 13 Jul 2024 08:13 collapse

If the left what?? Mask completely off now, huh.

WamGams@lemmy.ca on 10 Jul 2024 21:52 next collapse

2 gigs is not a lot.

einkorn@feddit.org on 10 Jul 2024 22:26 next collapse

Videos? Yeah.

Documents? Can be quite a lot!

Ava@beehaw.org on 11 Jul 2024 01:11 collapse

That 2600 pages of Trans hate collection is 60MB.

But only in that order.
