A group of self-described 'gay furry hackers' known as SiegedSec has launched a cyberattack against the Heritage Foundation, a major right-wing think tank.
The attack, which resulted in the theft and release of two gigabytes of sensitive data, was in retaliation against the think tank's Project 2025, a set of policy proposals aimed for immediate action should Donald Trump win a second term. The leaked data includes passwords and user information for every user in the think tank's database. The breach has sparked outrage among the Heritage Foundation's leadership, with one executive director issuing threats against the hackers.
This cyberattack highlights the increasing role of hacktivism in political and ideological disputes.
