    “claim to have stolen 6200 dollars and spent it on 100 inflatable sea lions”

    Honestly, i’m not even sure this is a crime. Can you imagine being a juror in court for this shit?

      okay so sometimes living in a half passed shadow run 6e campaign run by severely concussed Kurt Vonnegut as he dies of dysentery is pretty fun.

      even in that condition; man can still write. apparently.

    Among highly skilled hackers, I wonder what percentage are either on the spectrum, furry, or LGBTQ (or some combination thereof). It’s got to be at least 50%. Anyway, great work here!

    I like that the idea that gay furries being the ones that did them in likely makes them that much more mad about getting caught.

    Earlier this year, SiegedSec claimed to have hacked the River Valley Church of Burnsville, Minnesota — and to have spent $6,200 in church funds to purchase 100 inflatable sea lions — after its lead pastor, Rob Ketterling, allegedly made transphobic remarks. In the past, Ketterling said the legalization of gay marriage would lead to the legalization of pedophilia, polygamy, and bestiality.

    That’s pretty awesome.

    They deleted all the files in Real America’s Voice’s S3 bucket, but it seems like it’d be more mischievous to upload larger and larger files to it over time to make them wonder why their bills are skyrocketing. That and randomly change the permissions of a few files per day, delete data from the middle of files, etc.

    Of course, I would never do such a thing.

      There would probably be more illegal actions taken into account if caught if they cost the person/church/organization/company more money by doing so.

      While fun I am sure there are better ways to do something without costing people/organizations money. I think this is important to consider when we compare deeds and acts we deem as better for everyone and compare it to things we deem as not okay for everyone because we tend to get wrapped up in the idea that our opinions justify what is right when what it boils or would boil down to is this.

      Ousting a right wing ass hole and costing him and the church more money = illegal

      Ousting someone through extortion or costing them more money through scams = illegal

      While we could morally argue one is far better than the other the way this could be portrayed especially by someone in Florida a specific politician called DeSantis: “Those gay rights activists are basically scammers and extortionists.”

      While on the surface their moral obligations are clearly different and I applaud them. Hacking without consent or authorization is technically illegal regardless and can be charged but they are less likely to look like the bad guys by not costing, someone or some thing, absurd amounts of money that they would end up paying back like wise there is less fire power against them.

      Either way good on them.

    SiegedSec reportedly emerged around February 2022, taking their name from their goal of “sieging their victim’s security,” according to the cybersecurity service DarkOwl. Their website defacements reportedly include vulgar language referencing “dks and cmdogs.”

    I mean, I suppose it’s okay if they say cumdogs

    In the same fashion that elves were like the best blacksmiths in middle earth, I love how furries specifically tend to be very high in the “computer power” scale

    I can’t help it but regardless of the context the phrase “Gay Furry Hackers” will always seem a little funny to me… Not sure why bain is a weird place.

    Let’s hope we hear about a lot more action from them.
