SiegedSec, a collective of self-proclaimed “gay furry hackers,” has claimed credit for breaching online databases of the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank that spearheaded the rightwing Project 2025 playbook. On Wednesday, as part of string of hacks aimed at organizations that oppose trans rights, SiegedSec released a cache of Heritage Foundation material.
In a post to Telegram announcing the hack, SiegedSec called Project 2025 “an authoritarian Christian nationalist plan to reform the United States government.” The attack was part of the group’s #OpTransRights campaign, which recently targeted rightwing media outlet Real America’s Voice, the Hillsong megachurch, and a Minnesota pastor.
In his foreword to the Project 2025 manifesto, the Heritage Foundation’s president, Kevin Roberts, rails against “the toxic normalization of transgenderism” and “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology.” The playbook’s other contributors call on “the next conservative administration” to roll back certain policies, including allowing trans people to serve in the military.
“We’re strongly against Project 2025 and everything the Heritage Foundation stands for,” one of SiegedSec’s leaders, who goes by the handle vio, told The Intercept.
These fuckers are finding out how many queer people are very good with computers.
There’s a reason “furries run the internet” is only kinda a joke
I assume they are on Lemmy.
Good job, guys.
Hell yeah! Keep up the good work and dig deeper!
If there’s a prize for the Best Headline of 2024 out there, this one should win the trophy.
I mean it’s just got everything going for it!
I dunno man, this one is good but that phallic iceberg off the coast of Dildo might have it beat
I think 2024 has a lot more in store for us to make that claim this soon.
I’ll set a reminder so us church ladies can discuss on Jan 1, 2025. ;)

The trans-mission was a success
This immediately made me think of Hedwig and the angry inch
4-9. Mimosas
Reportedly 2gb of data
The data includes the “full names, email addresses, passwords, and usernames” of people associating with Heritage, vio said, including users with U.S. government email addresses. “This itself can have an impact to heritage’s (sic) reputation,” they added, “and it’ll especially push away users in positions of power.”
(And thank you gay furry hackers 🫡)

If I ever find these hackers I’m going to treat them to lunch.
They were gay children then professionals and furries. These hackers have been breathing operational security their whole lives. You probably find them when some Morpheus dude in assless chaps offers you two different brands of poppers.
We all have VHS that need to be cleaned
I read the group name as “Guy Fieri hackers” for some reason. Was confused there for a moment.
I may need more sleep.
Or a drink (if you partake).
It’s 5:00 pm somewhere.
Damn the “rule” is 4 pm here.
Where is this magical place? 365 extra hours of debauchery a year?!
Netherlands, the rule is no beer before four. (Geen bier voor vier)
As a night shift worker, breakfast is a good time for a drink.
Just now saw the username
Welcome to hacker town!
Is gay furry hackers the hacker known as 4chan’s cousin?
Do the Gay Furry Hackers accept donations?
Well it wasn’t going to be the straight furry hackers.
As a straight furry, I find this offensive. Although it is accurate.
Is there a word for offensively accurate
Late night show
It’s like anonymous, but effective!
Straight hurry fackers
That guy was busy with his “girlfriend”.
It’s about damn time these hacker groups started working with their fellow peasants, instead of against them.

Not the same event. I couldn’t get the page to archive. Anyone have a better source?
Thank you, Gay Furries for your service.

Whenever I see the words “gay furry hackers” in a headline, I smile.
