Sounds to me like they still haven’t rectified the breach. Cool. 🤘

This guy talks like a moronic middle school bully. And the fucked up grammar (especially casing) is definitely on brand.
Just going from the headline, I assumed the "Heritage Foundation" was a non profit that worked to preserve our civilisation's historic buildings, locations, works of art and culture.
Turns out they're just bigoted fascists, I guess? Huh.
A lot of those over in the USA at the moment. I mean, we have our fair share in Europe too, but ya know, it feels like it's reaching a tipping point in the USA where fascists have by now infiltrated everything at all levels... :-/
Heritage Foundation is the main Republican “think tank.” When Republicans are out of power they hire people who they expect will return to power. When a politician writes a book no one gives a shit about, they buy copies in bulk to try to manipulate The NY Times best-seller list and make it seem popular. It’s just an arm of the Republican Party.
The equivalent for Democrats is the Center for American Progress. It’s not as evil but it’s also not a real think tank. (Real think tanks hire Ph D’s and produce academic-level work. Heritage and CAP are more like marketing companies masquerading as non-profits.)
In the US, anything with "heritage" in its name is usually racist. The word became a dog whistle for white supremacists after the civil rights era.

Dunno, this seems like he's having fun too, just not clearly enough.
Or maybe it's really that bad.
I dont think literal Nazis have that kind of humor
Sometimes they do.
But usually yes, people who become Nazis (or similar) are not very inventive, not very creative, don't have sense of humor and consider themselves (and some majority they imagine) incapable of those, and those capable - weirdos\geniuses\miracles and such.
Which is why their instruments of choice are violence and scams - they think they can't do anything else. This also excludes really brave people who consider themselves incapable - because a brave person doesn't have to believe in having some talent to try again and again.
It's sad really. But at the same time inspiring, since it means that the better we can educate people (or at least teach them bravery, and bravery can be taught) and the more opportunities for development we give them, the fewer Nazis (or similar) there will be.
Fascism works because it convinces the most average unremarkable person that they are more worthy as long as they follow a chain of command
Literally sounds like a teenage boy who spent too much time on 4chan

Yeah, because what they want is less attention for what they did, lol
I support gay furry hackers, especially if they target the heritage foundation and other trash like that. If they come to light ill donate funds towards further hacking endeavors.
Hear, hear!
I raise a drink to these GayFurHacktivists and their antifascist endeavors! 🥃

I do believe they're laying low right now
Lay low, bask in the glow. Decide on a new target, or hit the same ones again, choices choices. Fight the good fight
I’m waiting for them to try using the navy seal copypasta “unironically”

This is the best summary I could come up with:
A group of self-proclaimed “gay furry hackers” says it breached the Heritage Foundation earlier this month, releasing two gigabytes of the right-wing think tank’s internal data on Tuesday.
The group also cited their objections to Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation’s policy proposal for a second term for former President Donald Trump, as a motivating factor.
The chat logs show a person who claims to be Howell asking a SiegedSec member why the group hacked the Heritage Foundation and threatening to expose the hackers.
In a statement on Telegram, SiegedSec said the goal of the hack was to draw attention to — and combat — the Heritage Foundation’s anti-LGBT and anti-abortion policy proposals.
Broadly speaking, its recommendations involve expanding presidential power, purging federal agencies of career employees, and replacing them with Trump loyalists.
Trump recently attempted to distance himself from Project 2025, claiming he has “no idea” who is behind the plan — even though a CNN analysis found that more than 140 former members of his administration were involved in drafting the mandate.
The original article contains 834 words, the summary contains 173 words. Saved 79%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
These really should get their own pinned-to-top auto-collapsed space.
As much of the IT sector makes up that group I'm surprised more breaches like this haven't happened.
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.).

Have you hugged your gay furry today?
Wait, you can own a furry?
No, but I bet head scritches and treats will endear them to you
As a gay furry, it's true I would do a lot for head scritches and treats, but I'll happily give hugs regardless ♥️

Furries keep the Internet running. Anger them at your peril.
“I’m not owned! I’m not owned!” I continue to insist as I slowly shrink and transform into a corn cob
My "I haven't been hacked by gay furries" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my T-shirt
I love it when real news report headlines sound like an article from The Onion.
Do you think there's a real link between furries being gay, like the type of person who is a furry just tends to be disproportionately gay and online?
Or a sociological link like people who are open enough about sexual preferences will tend to be open about all of them?
Or a news bias link like plenty of hackers are gay but you don't hear about it, but if they are
Or is this always just the one gay furry hacker group?
I think all those are a little true. But I'm mostly guessing. I'm happy to change my mind if anyone knows better.
Either way, these folks are my hero.
There seems to be a link between neurodivergence and LGBTQ+ tendencies, from purely anecdotal evidence. Perhaps it's because neurodivergent people seem to be more willing to question the status quo and self-examine without the assumption that they must be however society deems "normal?"
