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.
I checked the article to see if this was the NULLBULGE folks again, but no, this was reportedly executed by by SiegedSec. A different queer furry hacker group.
I mean, there is never enough gay/furry hacking groups rooting for our rights. Keep it up!
gay furry hacker group? sorry, this is the trans therian greyhat group. though if you’re looking for the queer scaly infosec group they’re right down the hall
Get em with your tails waving furries.
based hackers
Whenever I see the words “gay furry hackers” in a headline, I smile.
Thank god for the Furries.
When horrible people (furry) hurt other horrible people (Republicans).
I guess I’m rooting for the lesser of two evils again, but it’s not a victory I enthusiastic about. Anyway, suck it fascists.
Bro you’re on Lemmy. It’s mostly furries here. How did you think this comment would go?
I’m not concerned with points or score. I cannot abide bestiality-adjacent people who have a disproportionally high number of groomers in their community. I may not be able to stop them from being an abomination, they should absolutely be on some kind of watchlist. You be an apologist if you want, I can’t stop you, but I won’t let it be sugar coated whether y’all want to admit there’s a problem or not.

Citation needed. Tbh this sounds like a fascinating dataset but I’m skeptical it even exists.
Ironic you’re on a post like this preaching hate and misinformation. Bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see how it turns out for ya.
Any group is comprised of groomers and bestiality practitioners if you tell yourself they are and refuse to actually look into what they represent.
I didn’t apologize for anything or side with anything
Huh. I hear drag queens and trans people have a high number of groomers in their community. I used to hear it about gay men too (and sometimes still do). I wonder if that’s actually just a lie designed to demonize a marginalized community?
Oh, but I’m sure it’s true this time.
Furries are not horrible people. Weird with weird preferences sure, but FAR from horrible.
How are furries bad? Maybe they have a weird kink and / or hobby, but hey, let them live their lives.
Don’t assume all furries or all republicans are horrible. Then you are being just like the republicans man.
Oh, c’mon now, we are well beyond the point of giving Republicans any claim to decency. The entire party has fallen to Fascism. They’re on the same trajectory as the the Nazi party pre-holocaust, and on the same trajectory to be just as evil.
The entirety of Republicanism is centered around hatred of minority groups. They don’t even care about economics anymore, they just want to exterminate trans people and reverse civil rights.
As for flurries, they are a rather wonderful queer subculture full of compassionate creative people who love to share their love for anthropomorphism with others.
To compare the two is quite insulting. One group is a group of people who wants to have fun and be happy, the other group wants to see the first group dead.
It’s not difficult to pick a side.
Wtf are on about? What have furries ever done to you?
I have no idea, but this isn’t the first time they’ve gotten irrationally upset about them:
Yeah I’m not too happy with all the kids, mostly because they largely ruined animal humanoids with their weird furry BS, and they think Critical Role is some kind of good demonstration on what a real session is like and not a well funded production.

That was a in a thread about D&D and the creator’s sexism.
Also, I haven’t met too many furries, but the ones I’ve met seemed like decent people.
'the ones I’ve met seemed like decent people."
Squid hits the nail on the head here. Furries are just being themselves, which we are always told we should be. Until some old fart gets all twisted up on hate by preach everyone should be as bitter and twisted as they are.
Hell, there are so many more pressing issues in the world to deal with. Who cares who love whom or what. Let’s focus on the bigger issues like corruption, greed, and tribalism. Who fucken cares if Fred loves Fred, or Jane wants to marry Jane.
I want to worry about how many dollars are getting stuffed into political or judicial pockets. That’s the real issue.
the Sam Bankman-Fried FTX trial kind of told it all when it came out in sworn testimony that politicians are such a value buy, and to get media all over your Democratic bribes, but best to keep the equal RNC ones dark. How could you be blind to the Supreme Court justices being bought? But look! some people are fighting on an airplane, people tweeted about tipping culture and omg somebody old trended and people thought they died but not yet!
It’s the Dead Cat strategy.
I remember when it was cool to hate furries on the internet, 2003 was a trip… A trip best not repeated.
What the fuck is wrong with furries?
there are other kinds of hackers?
what about that transphobe misandrist hacker that does Denuvo cracks?
Was thinking the triple redundancy must be for security purposes, but I don’t own stripey knee socks so obviously know nothing of IT.
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
Straight hurry fackers
It’s like anonymous, but effective!
I assume they are on Lemmy.
Good job, guys.
uwu
Hell yeah! Keep up the good work and dig deeper!
Thank you, Gay Furries for your service.
These guys also hacked the nuclear lab demanding research into cat girls btw. Fucking madlads
Rip it to shreds fast as your paws can kids
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
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
Furries do the back-end stuff, Femboys do anything client-facing.
Furries have stuff coming from their back ends (tail), femboys stuff their back ends (they are tail)
Guess I have to start wearing skirts.
Fursuits coat money, working with computers (typically) pays well; it’s a tale as old as… the internet?
Yes, but only because before the Internet they weren’t called furries. (I don’t know if there was a different name. I don’t even know if it was A Thing.)
He so prostituted his own chastity that after defiling almost every part of his body, he at last devised a kind of game, in which, covered with the skin of some wild animal, he was let loose from a cage and attacked the private parts of men and women, who were bound to stakes, and when he had sated his mad lust, was dispatched by his freedman Doryphorus;
- The Roman Emperor Nero roleplaying and protoyiffing
Man Nero is such an icon
How dare you post this without the sauce.
Suetonius, Twelve Caesars, Nero, Chapter 29 Suetonius loved him a good scandal, bit of a gossip.
Protoyiff has been added to the lexicon. Thank yooooo verymuch.
Not in its current form, no.
There definitely were furries, but we didn’t form a cohesive subculture until we started getting online in the late 80’s.
So it was an inside job from the closet crew of these comic book villains of our dystopian reality.
