Given the slant of the article, it really feels like The Register missed an opportunity for a spicier headline like "Mike Howell, Heritage Foundation executive, reportedly discloses gay furry prison sex fantasies"

Or "Mike Howell destroyed by Gay Furries"
Mike Howell:
Ok listen to me closely
We are in the process of identifying and outting members of your group
Reputations and lives will be destroyed
Closeted Furries will be presented to the world for the degenerate perverts they are
You cannot hide
Your means are miniscule compared to mine. You now can either turn yourself in or you can cooperate
Oh I so hope that reputations will be destroyed...
Lol what a loser. Trying so hard to sound badass.
Consequences will never be the same
From there the messages said to have been sent from Howell become increasingly dark, lecturing the crew on beastiality and how it's a "weird sin," calling them perverts," and then telling vio "you won't be able to wear a furry tiger costume when you're getting pounded in the ass in the federal prison I put you in next year."
Overall, not a good look for an organization touting Christian value
Conservatives and especially conservative Christians have some very particular obsessions.
Lol. The gay furry Cybersecurity activist's reputations are already established.
We like them.
I appreciate what they're doing, and hope they keep a strong eye on where their ethical boundaries are, and keep out of anything too hot for their opsec to handle.
But Mike Howell needs to watch Ocean's 13.
"I know all the guys you would send after me. They like me more than they like you!"

But before breaking up the band, the politically motivated and self-described "gay furry hackers" published a bunch of furious messages that SiegedSec claims were sent to them by Mike Howell, the executive director of the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project.
The feud began on July 9 after SiegedSec said it obtained usernames, passwords, logs and "other juicy info" belonging to the Heritage Foundation, and then leaked that private data online in response to the org producing and promoting Project 2025.
Project 2025 is a lengthy and fairly detailed blueprint that outlines how a future conservative president – such as, say, Donald Trump should he win the election again – could overhaul the federal government and public policy to enact a far-Right agenda and give huge powers to the executive branch.
And ultimately, it seeks to expand the executive branch's power, ensure that federal agencies and their leaders and rank-and-file fall heavily in line with the president's agenda and "push back against woke policies in corporate America" [PDF].
SiegedSec, whose previous targets have included America's biggest nuclear power lab's computer systems and NATO (on multiple occasions), said it took issue with Project 2025's "authoritarian Christian nationalist plan to reform the United States government."
From there the messages said to have been sent from Howell become increasingly dark, lecturing the crew on beastiality and how it's a "weird sin," calling them perverts," and then telling vio "you won't be able to wear a furry tiger costume when you're getting pounded in the ass in the federal prison I put you in next year."
