The hacktivists, which describe themselves as made up of "gay furry hackers," usually target government orgs whose policies they disagrees with, and have a flare for political publicity stunts, also posted a link to the purported stolen files on their Telegram channel.

"The astonishing siegedsec hackers have struck NATO once more!!1!!!," the crew wrote, bragging: "NATO: 0. Siegedsec: 2."

The team is referring to its earlier NATO intrusion in July, during which it claimed it swiped information belonging to 31 nations and leaked 845MB of data from the alliance's the Communities of Interest (COI) Cooperation Portal.

OwO *notices your info*

Joking aside, I'm seriously questioning whether they're actually furries. On the one hand, a lot of furries are pissed off at the US due to lack of affordable healthcare, the ongoing war against LGBT rights, etc. On the other hand, most furries support NATO to some extent, even if it's just because the alternative is Russia/China/Middle East, etc who are known for being even worse about civil right.

Then again, we have a group we've had a small right-wing extremist group we keep having to boot out of cons, meetups, etc, so I guess it's possible. I'm just thinking it might be a false flag by Russia or a Russia-aligned group to try and sow division between the furry community and other communities we tend to be closely aligned with (like the LGBT community), or an attempt to get the furry community marked as an extremist organization (kinda like how juggalos are apparently considered an organized crime group by the FBI).

The stereotype is just too perfect, you know? I'm sure there's a ton of furry hackers, but there's a lot more people who have heard of this stereotype and think it's funny.

I also think furry hackers would target the Repuclican National Convention or something
