Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

4chan should go down more often lol
What a hero
Anonymous are the heroes. Thanks for posting the article!
What *an hero.
Probably too old a reference for most lol
It's an older meme, but it checks out
An earo
An gyro
A Nero
only if you're scottish
“An hero” is an old 4chan meme that is referring to a child who killed himself. There was an old MySpace memorial page made for a kid who shot himself. Someone posted a long comment that started with “He was such an hero to take it all away.” It continued to call him “an hero” several more times.
Instead of telling someone “kys” when they made a bad post, you’d tell them to become an hero.
It's funny you say a child, as a kid at that time on 4chan (yeah yeah) it didn't come across as a "child" as they were older then me at the time.
Dark humor be like that though.
The an hero kid was 14 at the time (for context).
Yep, I was 12-13 when I discovered b
Us Scots can say our aitches - always annoys me to hear "an hospital" on the BBC.
Faaking Laanduners - that's who'll be saying "an hero".
To clarify:
Though the group currently calling itself Anonymous that just published all this ... derives the aesthetics and what not from stuff that arose on 4chan in the mid/late 00s...
They almost certainly have nothing to do with 4chan going down.
4chan was taken down by a group of people that used to post on a 4chan subboard, which was removed... and then they started their own community 'Soyjack Party'.
Which, ironically, is a very similar story as to why 4chan even exists: m00t used to post hentai and loli on SomethingAwful, and then that subboard got shut down, m00t and other frequent posters there got banned, and then they made 4chan.
Like... I stopped using 4chan almost two decades ago now, when m00t made a big announcement post, which later disappeared, stating that as a result of increased media scrutiny and a number of high profile crimes that were connected back to 4chan posts... well m00t said that he was cooperating with the authorities.
I can't prove this, because ... two decades ago, and the announcement was only up for ... less than 24hrs... but yeah, as the SoyJack Party hack of 4chan has confirmed, it was obvious that 4chan was/is a shitshow joke of an operation held together by ducttape and fishing lines.
For fucks sake, their versions of PHP and MySQL were like 12 years out of date and had numerous, extensively well documented security flaws.
My joke was implying that they had nothing better to do than infiltrate confidential Russian servers since 4chan was down. Lol
Whelp, thats a whoosh moment for me than lol.
But it does seem like some other people appreciated the info :P
Happens to the best of us lol
Where is the full leak? 18GB is nothing compared to 10TB
I’m not sure. I’ve been wondering the same thing.
This, a thousand times! I've been waiting and hoping to see a way for the masses to have a look at the whole thing and I haven't found one yet
Does anyone have 10TB space to even download all of it? My all drives combined wouldn't get me there.
Data hoarders defunitely would. Trust me, I've got one 14TB HDD just for movies, another 8TB that I now use mostly just for backups, and that gets me probably on the lowest steps of the ladder of people who regularly collect data.
Also easy to use some Debrid service that would download and store it on the cloud, where you could inspect the files without it all cramming up your local disk space.
Dominos pizza! I knew I tasted something fishy
Danone is an interesting one. They’re the second largest consumer water supplier in the world.

I checked some of it, did they just run nikto against some russian IPs?
Their "vulnerabilities" are mostly clickjacking missing headers and secure flags on cookies (probably not even session cookies)
So it seems. The Russian business receipts may be more useful, but I’m not really sure how this data can be used.
Wait what does 4chan have to do with this?
Just that it got down and all its data (emails, users, passwords) got leaked.
I guess they implied 4chan users, without 4chan, decided to pass the time by hacking Russia
Dilmah!?
pls no...
