As much of the IT sector makes up that group I'm surprised more breaches like this haven't happened.
There is a secret war being fought in the digital depths of cyberspace...
Just because you haven’t heard of them, doesn’t mean they don’t happen more often than you think
Vigilante hacker groups don’t necessarily need public attention to get satisfaction
Oh, it's true. Even without any unlawful computer access, the amount of personal info your average IT furry can access is pretty astounding. There's furries quietly keeping things running in the background across tech, finance, industry, science, and just about everywhere.
Our Bacon numbers are tiny, too. It might be six degrees for any two random humans, but in the furry community you rarely have to go farther than friend-of-a-firend-of-a-friend.
So; if you've got a problem, if nobody else can help, and if you can find them, maybe they'll know another furry with the exact know-how you need.
I wonder if any of them know how to fuck my doggy asshole.
Maybe. Maybe knot.
^I'm ^^so ^^^sorry
These downvotes were ruff.
From what I've heard, sometimes the hacked institutions bow in the form of delaying, or even completely ditching Project 2025-style plans. Other times the institution has enough Russia and/or China ties, that a naive tankie within the group sabotages the whole effort. Yet other times they're being paid a lot of money and being given certain guarantees (ability of leaving the country in case the hacker's civil identities become illegal, etc.).
