When Furries Attack
A group of self-described “gay furries” has hacked into a far-right media outlet over its transphobic rhetoric.
As The Daily Dot reports, the hacker collective that calls itself SiegedSec announced on the messaging app Telegram that it had successfully breached the databases of “Real America’s Voice,” a news outlet that platforms all manner of extremism and prominently features figures like former Donald Trump advisor and alleged fraudster Steve Bannon and right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.
“The hack reveals the personal information of 1,200+ individuals on their app, such as full name, phone number, email address,” SiegedSec said on the messaging app, adding that it “went poof” to Real America Voice’s files and user data.
That now-wiped data cache is said to include information about the streaming, cable, and digital news outlet’s top talent and shows, including those of Bannon, Kirk, and rocker-turned-shock-jock Ted Nugent. As The Daily Dot notes, its reporters did verify that a hack had occurred, but it’s unclear whether it entailed any lasting damage to the network’s digital operation.
