The hacker group “Gay furry hackers” have announced that they are retiring after the attack on “The Heritage Foundation” and the leak of 2GB of data.
The political confrontation between Republicans and Democrats in America is well underway. A group of hackers called "Gay furry hackers" (we would translate it to "Gay furry hackers") announced that they are withdrawing from active activity as they fear the consequences of their intrusion into the conservative organization "The Heritage Foundation" which runs a project for Trump's "Project 2025".
The group of hackers broke into a database belonging to the ultra-conservative group The Heritage Foundation and subsequently leaked 2 GB of files. The hacker member under the pseudonym SiegedSec claims in a Telegram group channel that or group disbanded.
Their message reads:
Given the circumstances I think it's best to do it now. For our own mental health, the stress of mass publicity, and to avoid the eye of the FBI.
I've been thinking about quitting cybercrime lately and the other members have agreed to put SiegedSec to rest for good.
And while he renounces a life of crime, SiegedSec says he will remain "a hacker and always fight for the rights of others."
But before disbanding the group, the politically motivated and self-proclaimed “gay furry hackers” released a slew of angry messages that SiegedSec claims were sent to them by Mike Howell, the executive director of the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project.
The controversy began on July 9 after SiegedSec said it obtained usernames, passwords, logs and "other juicy information" belonging to the Heritage Foundation and then leaked that personal data online in response to the organization producing and promoting the "Project 2025".
Project 2025 is a lengthy and fairly detailed plan outlining how a future conservative president (like, say, Donald Trump if re-elected) could overhaul the federal government and public policy to enact a far-right agenda and grant sweeping powers to the executive branch.
Trump has claimed to know "nothing" about any of this, although there are clear ties between Project 2025's advisory board, the Trump Group, and the Republican National Committee.
Project 2025's political wish list includes, among many, many, many things, ending "the US government's focus on climate change and green subsidies," abolishing the US Department of Education, calling for the privatization of many public health services care, plans to overturn approval of the morning-after pill and will cut federal funding to abortion providers and those who provide care that confirms the baby's sex.
And, finally, it seeks to expand the power of the executive branch, to ensure that federal agencies and their leaders largely align with the president's agenda.
"Gay furry hackers" SiegedSec, whose previous targets have included the computer systems of America's largest nuclear power lab and NATO, said it disagreed with the "authoritarian, Christian, nationalist, plan to reform the United States government." , of Project 2025 and therefore hacked them.
