“Gay Furry Hackers” Claim Credit for Hacking Heritage Foundation Over Project 2025
Hacker collective SiegedSec says it infiltrated Heritage Foundation to oppose its campaign against trans rights detailed in the Project 2025 manifesto.
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.
These fuckers are finding out how many queer people are very good with computers.
I assume they are on Lemmy.
Good job, guys.
Hell yeah! Keep up the good work and dig deeper!

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!
I think 2024 has a lot more in store for us to make that claim this soon.
I'll set a reminder so us church ladies can discuss on Jan 1, 2025. ;)
The Gay Agenda
- Be gay
- Do crimes
- Brunch
- Be Furry
- Stop Crimes
- Still weird out the normies.
The trans-mission was a success
This immediately made me think of Hedwig and the angry inch
4-9. Mimosas
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

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.
We all have VHS that need to be cleaned
I read the group name as "Guy Fieri hackers" for some reason. Was confused there for a moment.
I may need more sleep.
I checked the article to see if this was the NULLBULGE folks again, but no, this was reportedly executed by SiegedSec. A different queer furry hacker group.
gay furry hacker group? sorry, this is the trans therian greyhat group. though if you're looking for the queer scaly infosec group they're right down the hall
I mean, there is never enough gay/furry hacking groups rooting for our rights. Keep it up!
🫡 Thank you for your service
Thank god for the Furries.
It’s about damn time these hacker groups started working with their fellow peasants, instead of against them.
Do the Gay Furry Hackers accept donations?

Not the same event. I couldn't get the page to archive. Anyone have a better source?
That link is for a previous breach against a different entity, so not the same story at all.
Sorry, you are right, I didn't look closely enough
Thank you, Gay Furries for your service.
These guys also hacked the nuclear lab demanding research into cat girls btw. Fucking madlads
there are other kinds of hackers?
Was thinking the triple redundancy must be for security purposes, but I don't own stripey knee socks so obviously know nothing of IT.
what about that transphobe misandrist hacker that does Denuvo cracks?
Whenever I see the words "gay furry hackers" in a headline, I smile.
So it was an inside job from the closet crew of these comic book villains of our dystopian reality.
Anonymous isn't gone. Just gay and furry.

Always has been
Amazing, what a time to be alive
This is really cool, but I would personally never call out I was part of a hack on anyone just in case they gain enough power to have me murdered. That, and the legal troubles that could follow. I can't think of many things scarier than conservatives who cheat and don't play by the rules coming after you legally because they will make sure you go bankrupt or worse.
Despite providing a username, it’s probably more difficult for the Heritage foundation to find them than it was for the hacker(s) to gain entry to the system. Even the announcement was encrypted via telegram.

What? It's a regular telegram post, not at all encrypted.
Rip it to shreds fast as your paws can kids
Get em with your tails waving furries.
What specifically did they find that's juicy? The text in that forward?
Because TBH those quotes are about what I'd expect.
based hackers
Quite the story here.
When horrible people (furry) hurt other horrible people (Republicans).
I guess I'm rooting for the lesser of two evils again, but it's not a victory I enthusiastic about. Anyway, suck it fascists.
Furries are not horrible people. Weird with weird preferences sure, but FAR from horrible.
Wtf are on about? What have furries ever done to you?
I have no idea, but this isn't the first time they've gotten irrationally upset about them:
Yeah I’m not too happy with all the kids, mostly because they largely ruined animal humanoids with their weird furry BS, and they think Critical Role is some kind of good demonstration on what a real session is like and not a well funded production.

That was a in a thread about D&D and the creator's sexism.
Also, I haven't met too many furries, but the ones I've met seemed like decent people.
How are furries bad? Maybe they have a weird kink and / or hobby, but hey, let them live their lives.
Bro you're on Lemmy. It's mostly furries here. How did you think this comment would go?
I'm not concerned with points or score. I cannot abide bestiality-adjacent people who have a disproportionally high number of groomers in their community. I may not be able to stop them from being an abomination, they should absolutely be on some kind of watchlist. You be an apologist if you want, I can't stop you, but I won't let it be sugar coated whether y'all want to admit there's a problem or not.
I remember when it was cool to hate furries on the internet, 2003 was a trip.... A trip best not repeated.
