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

This guy talks like a moronic middle school bully. And the fucked up grammar (especially casing) is definitely on brand.
Literally sounds like a teenage boy who spent too much time on 4chan
Misspelled ‘incel’
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… :-/
In the US, anything with “heritage” in its name is usually racist. The word became a dog whistle for white supremacists after the civil rights era.
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.)
reaching a tipping point
Turning Point.
(is the name of their arm/organization that makes propaganda aimed at colleges and young people.)

Yeah, because what they want is less attention for what they did, lol
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.
Hear, hear!
I raise a drink to these GayFurHacktivists and their antifascist endeavors! 🥃
Yiffin’ your servers!

I don’t ‘get’ furries at all, but I have met a whole whopping 2 of them in my life (that I know of) and they were both super chill and friendly people, so I am all for supporting them! You friendly weirdos. 👍
+1 for yiffing.

I do believe they’re laying low right now
Lay low, bask in the glow. Decide on a new target, or hit the same ones again, choices choices. Fight the good fight
I’m waiting for them to try using the navy seal copypasta “unironically”

Dunno, this seems like he’s having fun too, just not clearly enough.
Or maybe it’s really that bad.
I dont think literal Nazis have that kind of humor
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.
Fascism works because it convinces the most average unremarkable person that they are more worthy as long as they follow a chain of command

Took me about two minutes on a cellphone to find his home address using public records. And another minute to find his fax number.
Maybe I should introduce him to the wonderful world of gay furry images.
This guy read about AM once and decided to base his whole life around the guy.
Furries keep the Internet running. Anger them at your peril.
Can confirm, my co-worker is a furry and they keep the Internet running.
My “I haven’t been hacked by gay furries” T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my T-shirt
whats ur opinion on vore
It makes me hungry 🫤
I myself am an omni, but I don’t judge others if they like prefer something different.
Have you hugged your gay furry today?
Accepting hugs 24/7
🫂
If I wear a Velcro suit while hugging you would wacky sitcom level shenanigans occur?
Wacky sitcom shenanigans are a given :p
I once moved into an apartment with three other gay furries (one being an old friend), and another joined us shortly after. Two bedroom, one bath, and 5 furs. Playing reverse jenga with the trash can (whoever tips it, takes it out) and occasionally walking around nude were just par for the course. Using paper towels as emergency tp, and hearing the couple who were the actual renters getting frisky in the shower, were less common but not unexpected. And I ordered pizza so often that we got on a first-name basis with the delivery guy. Getting naughty with the friend was nice, too, when my bf wasn’t visiting (we were open).
Oh, and it was my first time living through a proper winter. Waking up to see my friend had left the window open, and the world a textureless white, was a nightly thing. I’m too cold, he’s too hot, screams. I ended up running stress tests on my computer to generate heat, and we settled on a mostly-closed window policy.
Life now is mundane by comparison. Though I’m in a master/pet relationship with the friend, he’s got a bf, and there’s been talk of moving in together, so… History kinda repeats itself? I’m okay with pizza-box trash jenga and being nude again. :P
Wait, you can own a furry?
No, but I bet head scritches and treats will endear them to you
As a gay furry, it’s true I would do a lot for head scritches and treats, but I’ll happily give hugs regardless ♥️
C’mere you 🩷
Yes you can but you are legally obligated to say “who rescued who?” At least once a day to a person.
I love it when real news report headlines sound like an article from The Onion.
I don’t… It’s fucking depressing
Satire done right is close enough to reality to make you pause for a second and wonder, “Is this for real?”
Stands to reason that it works the other way too.
I think in this case it’s a good thing tho (normally I’m with you)
Why? The Heritage Foundation are an intellectual joke. They can’t win in the war of ideas, they can’t suggest ideas that will last any test of time, and now are actively working to make their whim law crushing democracy itself. So if they are a joke why not mock them?
Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand
Mark Twain
And in this event is the seeds to beat the bastards. They want us to be scared they want us to take them seriously. Some group of script kiddies made them say gay furries. To actually go out there and talk about gay furries. Serious men in serious suits saying gay furries.
Keep it up. Make them talk about sex toys, pointless fandom debates, body fluids, anything that brings them down to the level of mockery
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.
I wonder if any of them know how to fuck my doggy asshole.
Maybe. Maybe knot.
^I’m ^^so ^^^sorry
These downvotes were ruff.
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…
“I’m not owned! I’m not owned!” I continue to insist as I slowly shrink and transform into a corn cob
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?
Yeah, what a cop out.
We weren’t hacked, guys! It was just our data specifically that was hacked from the contractors we pay to protect it! That’s totally different and better, right?
They have no comment on if they were hacked by pansexual furries.
I want everything SiegedSec found. I intend to copy it and store it for safekeeping.
Do it
Well, maybe not exactly “hacked”, is that what they mean?
Penetration!
Less of a trojan, more of a knot
And if they keep fighting in public about it, it going to go all Gordian on them.
“Fellas is it gay to get penetrated by furrys?”
Wait, wait No not like that!!
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.
It’s because the furry fandom, when it was founded back in the late 70’s by a gay polycule of sci-fi fans, was one of the only communities in existence that accepted openly gay and trans people. (And the only non-fetish community.) For many queer people, the furry fandom is the first place they ever feel welcome.
Basically the two weird kids in school decided to hangout together? I don’t mean that in a bad way, I mean in a cute way.
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?”
I think all those are a little true. But I’m mostly guessing. I’m happy to change my mind if anyone knows better.
Either way, these folks are my hero.
lmao yes most furries are gay. it’s a queer subculture. it’s like asking hmmm are most leather daddies gay?
Well?
Yes they are lol
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?
there’s a disposition between gay people and being furries, not between being furry, and being gay.
It’s a little weird, but it’s just a technicality of the furry community being the way that it is. It’s the same reason the US government is 90% people above the age of 60 right now. It’s just demographic shenanigans.
Eh, the only furries I know personally are a straight couple. So I’m not sure what that does to your metrics.
Go on Barbara, keep telling us not to look at Internet pictures of you
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

i just want to know what picture they sent to the guy on signal…
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!
These really should get their own pinned-to-top auto-collapsed space.
