The 4chan forum is going through difficult days. It is often described as a “network garbage”, it is known that this famous site that allows you to discuss anonymously was one of the most popular platforms of white conspirators and supremacists. But, since Tuesday, it is impossible to access him.
It all started on the night of Monday, April 14, when users began to complain about the loading difficulties of the forum, reports the media site 404. And, since Tuesday, April 15, 4Chan has been completely inaccessible.
It was due to piracy. The statements in this regard circulated while users began to complain. According to American Wired magazine, this supposed Hack was revealed for the first time when an abandoned section of the site resumed life with the words “pirate you” (“You were pirated”).
Data dissemination
An account about Soyjak.party, a 4Chan rival platform, then published messages allegedly explaining what had happened. “Tonight was a very special night for many of us at the Fête de Soyjak,” he wrote, adding that the hacker responsible for piracy was in the system of the famous forum “for more than a year.”
This pirateo is accompanied by the dissemination of data, the pirate has presented a list of moderators and “concierge” (users who can eliminate messages and threads of discussion, but who have less privileges than the first) allegedly 4chan. The screenshots that show in particular the source code of the site also circulated. After the publication of the electronic addresses of these administrators, the users of Soyjak.party began publishing photos and personal information about them.
Contacted by the TechCrunch specialized site, through the revealed electronic addresses, one of the site jets assured that it was “sure” that the data and screenshots that were leaked were “all real.”
“The 4Chan moderation team has already experienced leaks in the past, but it is clearly a major problem,” he said, adding that Doxxing, the dissemination of personal data to damage an individual “is a past time of long data in 4chan, and the possibility that we are exposed has always existed.”
When writing these lines, 4chan is always inaccessible, the site cannot be loaded.
