After taking the notorious image-divided site for about two weeks, 4 Chan has partially returned online.
The site was first dropped on April 7th, the person responsible for the hack was clearly to leak the data with the moderator and “doorman” list (told a door TechCrunch that they were “confident” that leaked data was real).
4 Chan’s extended disappearance was directed toward at least one premature audition with journalist Ryan Broderick Writer It was “a fan club for the mass shooters for several years as the center of internet culture and an anonymous way for anarchist true believers on the Internet, the central node of Gamergate and the right fascism around the world.”
However the 4 -chan team reacted involuntarily A post on x: “Ward says ‘4 Chan is dead.’ What? “
And Friday, the site Back onlineThe After a while, A post on the Official 4 Chan Blog Saying “A hacker using a UK IP address was able to get access to one of 4 Chan servers using a” Bogus PDF upload “, subsequently” Exfolting database tables and most parts of the 4 Chan’s source code “to Vandalize 4 Chan,” Vandalized “on whose point of 4 channels, and 4 channels. The servers are cautious and the 4 -chan servers get cautious and the servers of the 4 -chan were the servers and the 4 -chan servers started.
The loss, the post said, was “disastrous”.
“In the end this problem was due to the advertisers, payers and services suppliers who committed suicide in external stress because of the inadequate people-hours available to update our codes and infrastructure, and were starving over the years,” the post adds more, “advertisers and payments to pay with them.”
The breach server was subsequently replaced, the post said, although the site has new limitations – PDF uploads “temporarily” disabled, and a board left offline to share flash animations because the team has no real way to prevent similar exploitation using “SWF files”. “
Until Sunday afternoon, the site’s status checker showed that boards and front pages were finished, while posting, images and thumbnails were not working.
“4 Chan is back,” said the post. “No other website can replace it or this community. No matter how hard it is, we’re not giving up.”
