4chan Back Online After Recent Hack

4chan, the notorious image-sharing site, is partially back online following a recent hack that disrupted its services for nearly two weeks. The site went down on April 14, and the hacker responsible for the breach leaked data, including a list of moderators and “janitors.”

One of the janitors confirmed that the leaked data was authentic, causing concern among the site’s users. The extended downtime of 4chan led to speculation about its future, with some even prematurely declaring its demise.

Journalist Ryan Broderick wrote for Wired, expressing concerns about 4chan’s evolution from a hub of internet culture to a platform associated with mass shooters, Gamergate, and far-right extremism. However, the 4chan team responded defiantly, questioning the claims made about the site’s demise.

After days of being offline, 4chan made a comeback, but not without acknowledging the severity of the hack. The official blog post revealed that a hacker from the UK gained access to the site’s servers using a fake PDF upload, causing significant damage to 4chan’s database and source code.

The post highlighted the challenges faced by 4chan, citing a lack of resources and financial support due to pressure from advertisers and service providers. Despite the catastrophic impact of the hack, the team replaced the breached server and implemented new security measures.

While the site is back online, certain features like PDF uploads and a board for sharing Flash animations remain disabled to prevent future exploits. As of now, some functionalities like posting, images, and thumbnails are still not fully operational.

Despite the setbacks, the 4chan team remains resilient, emphasizing the unique community that the site fosters. The post concluded with a message of determination, stating that “4chan is back” and that they are committed to overcoming any challenges they may face.
