US nuke reactor lab hit by ‘gay furry hackers’ demanding cat-human mutants::Staff records swiped, leaked by gang who probably read one too many comics, sorry, graphic novels
Thought I was in r/nottheonion for a second.
Swiper no swiping nuclear secrets!
Seems like a reasonable demand.
In reality this seems like barely news, but I do have to admit it’s a hell of a headline.
4chan, was this you?
Implying modern 4chan has both the mental and collaborative capacity to do something like this.
They absolutely do when their autism is weaponized. Like look at this
I completely support their efforts. For legal reasons this is a joke.
Finally some technology news that isn’t about Twatter AI Tesla shit - - and then it’s furry maniacs. I want to get off this planet.
Why is this in technology?
“Gay furry hackers…”
You can just say hackers, you don’t need to repeat yourself.
Easily the best headline I’ve ever read
Utterly crazy.
I know right? I can’t believe IRL catgirls still aren’t a thing yet.
We’ll get there one day, though.
I suppose this is preferable to a nation state hacking it. Now they can patch some holes.
I think it’s likely a nation state. the gay furry claim is just a distraction.
Ban these
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The self-described “gay furry hackers” of SiegedSec are back: this time boasting they’ve broken into America’s biggest nuclear power lab’s computer systems and stolen records on thousands of employees.
“On Monday, November 20, Idaho National Laboratory determined that it was the target of a cybersecurity data breach in a federally approved vendor system outside the lab that supports INL cloud Human Resources services,” spokesperson Lori McNamara told The Register today.
East Idaho News reported it was able to confirm the authenticity of the leaked information with several INL employees, which SiegedSec earlier posted to its Telegram channel.
The self-styled furry hackers meanwhile have offered to remove the staff records if the lab performs experiments that at best could be described as highly irregular.
INL employs more than 6,100 people in and around Idaho Falls at its massive 890-square mile site, which houses the densest concentration of nuclear reactors in the world.
In its previous network penetration of NATO the group attributed its actions to the military org’s “attacks on human rights,” adding that it’s also “fun to leak documents.”
