4chan, a notorious internet forum known for its controversial content, has been taken offline following a significant cyberattack. The breach, which occurred overnight, led to the leak of internal data, including the site's source code and personal information of its moderators and users. Reports indicate that the hackers, possibly operatives from Soyjak Party, gained access to 4chan's servers by exploiting vulnerabilities in outdated PHP code. This allowed them to retrieve sensitive data such as the emails of administrators and moderators, some of which are associated with .edu and .gov domains. Additionally, data from 4chan Pass subscribers was compromised. The attack has been linked to a long-standing rivalry between 4chan and Soyjak Party. Leaked data revealed that Israel is the dominant source of activity on 4chan's /pol/ board. The breach has raised concerns about the security of user data and the potential exposure of individuals involved in moderating the site, with access to backend systems and moderator tools being compromised.
