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

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. 👍
I’m waiting for them to try using the navy seal copypasta “unironically”
You cannot hide Your means are miniscule compared to mine.
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.
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?
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 ♥️
My "I haven't been hacked by gay furries" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my T-shirt
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)
“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
Go on Barbara, keep telling us not to look at Internet pictures of you
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.
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.
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.

These really should get their own pinned-to-top auto-collapsed space.
i just want to know what picture they sent to the guy on signal...
It wasn't gay gurries, it was a group of straight scalies!
