“Gay furry hackers” takes credit for breaching data servers of Heritage Foundation
(MENAFN) A group identifying itself as “gay furry hackers” has taken credit for breaching the data servers of the Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank known for its ‘Project 2025’ initiative, which aims to radically reshape the United States government under Donald Trump. The hackers, operating under the name ‘SiegedSec,’ made the announcement on Tuesday, sharing a link on Telegram that allegedly contained passwords, email addresses, and full names of Heritage Foundation members. Although the link has since been removed, reports indicate that no sensitive information has been disclosed.
In their Telegram post, SiegedSec expressed their motivation for the hack, stating, “Project 2025 threatens the rights of abortion healthcare and LGBTQ+ communities in particular. So of course, we won’t stand for that!” This statement highlights the group’s intent to challenge the foundation's conservative agenda.
Despite the breach, the Heritage Foundation appeared largely unfazed. In a chat log released by SiegedSec on Wednesday, a hacker named ‘vio’ explained to Heritage Foundation executive Mike Howell that the cyberattack was intended to expose the identities of those supporting the organization. Howell's response was skeptical, questioning the motivation behind the hack and suggesting he might reveal the hackers' identities while criticizing their lifestyle choices.
Howell went on to make derogatory remarks, stating, “God created nature, and nature’s laws are vicious. It is why you have to put on a perverted animal costume to satisfy your sexual deviances.” This comment alludes to the subculture of ‘furries,’ individuals who dress in anthropomorphic animal costumes and engage in various related activities, including trading erotic art and attending conventions.
The incident has drawn attention not only for its political implications but also for the unusual identity of the hackers, reflecting the growing intersection of online activism and cybersecurity in contemporary discourse.
