Not sure if this is against the rules or not

The IPs of all janitors and admins have been leaked

4chan's entire tech stack is built of outdated and insecure myPHP

Not sure where the source code is from but I think it's the forum that did all of this in the first place

Wouldn’t the hackers be able to release more info about the infamous “Q”? Like IP address or something?

it feels like this is big news but I can't seem to get myself to care

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

no care, just smile :D

This is a huge blow to the Russian misinfo machine, unironically. If its down for a while, it will have some big effects

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 week ago (4 children)

No way. Who in their sane mind visits 4vhan? Literally. Who is Russia trying to target incels that love Trump and porn lovers?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

pretty much that demographic, yes. they have a right to vote, after all. arguably russia may have had a hand in creating them via 4chan itself. and it's not enough to start a movement, you have to keep it going with continuous propaganda, otherwise they might stray to the sane side

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

They don't need "sane", they need willing and obedient

Was something of value lost?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago

No, in fact we might begin healing. 🙏

Is this the work of the mysterious hacker 4 chan?

4chan stopped being relevant since they introduced asinine bot prevention. It's pretty much impossible to post there at all

It’s pretty much impossible to post there at all

Huh? The capachas were a low bar to clear to post. I had no trouble at all on various boards.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

4chan hates it when Tor and a VPN is used to enhance anonymity. It does frequent captchas, will refuse to load images, and won't let you post replies. It's like they want you to not be anonymous at all anymore.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You have to buy a 4chan pass, register an account (lol) or wait 15 minutes to post

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I guess I just leave a tab open because it is a non-issue for me, at least on /tg/ and /k/. The timer doesn't seem to reset on threads opened from the existing tab. That or my ad blocking extensions block whatever janky system the site uses.

I made comments (multiple in one thread without seeing a timer reset) as recently as a couple of days ago with no issue.

Once you’re “good” you stay good, possibly until you clear cookies? Not sure, but I know I rarely post now because I can’t be assed to wait that long, since I mostly post on /g/ and /v/ and they move fast enough I’m not likely to get in an exchange by the time I wait it out.

I miss nigahiga :(

It’s a famous hacker.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why's anyone surprised this happened? Was 4chan supposed to be a super up to date and modern website?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 week ago

Maybe because it used to be an important place for hacktivists like Anonymous. So, it was probably an obvious hacking target that could have learned to protect itself better.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Holy shit. Has this ever happened before?

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 week ago

4chan's had leaks before but it was nothing compared to this

nitter.poast.org also works to circumvent X logins

XCancel equivalents:

Note that while you're not visiting X directly, media (avatars, images, etc.) is loaded from Twitter's server, so they may still track you.

EDIT: This Markdown works fine over here on Mbin but not over on Lemmy. If you know what I'm doing wrong by Lemmy standards, please let me know.

EDIT2: Testing if Lemmy wants an extra line break after ::: Spoiler ...

that's a moot point

Lol

Wow, nitter works again!
