4chan Hacked: Leaked Data Exposes Moderators and Janitors

Notorious internet forum 4chan was the target of a cyberattack on Tuesday, causing the site to be intermittently down for hours. Users on social media reported difficulties accessing the website, which was not loading at the time of writing.

Messages on a rival message board celebrated the hack, with one individual claiming that the hacker responsible had infiltrated 4chan’s system for over a year. Screenshots of what appeared to be 4chan’s backend circulated online, revealing the site’s source code, templates to ban users, and a list of alleged moderators and janitors. These leaked data could potentially expose the individuals running these forums, which have become associated with alt-right movements.

One 4chan janitor, speaking on the condition of anonymity, confirmed the authenticity of the leaked data and screenshots. Expressing concern over the breach, the janitor mentioned that the hacker may have accessed personal information of 4chan Pass subscribers, who pay for enhanced site privileges.

The hacker’s breach of 4chan’s system raises significant security concerns for the site’s continued operation. The janitor emphasized that the leaked information poses a threat to user privacy and could potentially disrupt the forum’s functionality. Despite previous leaks, this incident is of greater magnitude and may have long-lasting repercussions.

4chan, known for its controversial content and association with alt-right ideologies, has a history of being a platform for radicalization and the dissemination of extremist views. Memes like Pepe the Frog and rage comics originated on 4chan and have since spread across the internet. The forum’s political boards have been linked to the radicalization of individuals and the propagation of white supremacist ideals.

Notable incidents, such as the Christchurch mosque shooting and the Buffalo grocery store shooting, have been connected to individuals who frequented 4chan and were influenced by its content. The platform’s influence on shaping online discourse and contributing to real-world violence underscores the importance of addressing security vulnerabilities and ensuring user safety.

4chan did not respond to requests for comment on the cyberattack. The forum’s reputation as a hub for controversial and often harmful content highlights the ongoing challenges of managing online communities and protecting user data in an increasingly digital world.
