About a week after a big hack forcing it to offline, the notorious image board 4 is inaccessible, and it has a growing feeling that it will stick to this way – and maybe it’s not so bad.
Established in 2003, 4 China – or it – online was a way for a particular part of sub -culture: basic, unprecedented, unorganized, and almost completely anonymous, which made it so notorious. Lieutenant In his report about the hack, it is described as “the Internet’s favorite hotspot of moral bankruptcy”, and it is known about the truth: There are definitely bad places to go into the digital world, but there is no one who is so famous for it.
Even if you have never used 4 picks, you have definitely heard about it, and in recent years its effects have been in the real world. A report from the South Poverty Law Center of 2018 cites “4Chan and its offshots participating in the most racist and mismanagement online trolling culture.” Its reputation was so ugly that in 2021, the Minekrat cleared a decade -old reference about the 4Chan / V / Board, where the creator Marx “Nuch” Person promoted the game a lot in his early days.
Finally, something that brought down 4chans was not a dispute with the right -thinking Denzin’s right -thinking, although, but another image board, a beef with a soy jack.com party. A message on the board celebrating the attack states that the alleged hacker had been in the 4Chan system for more than a year before launching the hacker.
Details are not clear, as you will expect from this particular type of old -time Internet Gong Show, but the attack was self -destructive. While the 4Chan was built around not to disclose, consumers can register accounts to take advantage of some features. Many people did, and they were allegedly all -dosted: a Takkarch Immediately to the attack. The later report said that the hacker posted screenshots, which showed a list of 4chan models and “Generators”, along with 4Chan’s “back -end, source codes, and users, as well as a list of 4Chan models and” genetics “, which can delete posts and threads but do not have full access. A watchman told Tech Crunch that he believes the information posted is all real, and that the hack is “obviously a problem with more intensity than the previous leak”.
Nevertheless, the gatekeeper looks unexpectedly controversial about the whole thing, adding that “Doxing 4Chan has a longtime entertainment, and the possibility we can be exposed is always there.” Others may not be sharing these emotions, though, in view of the ability to tie users, including some people who enroll with thegov and .edu domains-completely fine, sometimes violent, political content and movements.
To the extent of the hack, some people have believed that 4 lifters can never be restored. A Boeing bong The report states that “with every user of the note, the site’s servers are eliminated, and the admin team is unlikely to be volatile, it is unlikely that 4chan will return soon.” With each passing day, it seems more likely. The hack has six days, and 4 is offline.
It is possible that 4chan will eventually return: The problem is not restoring the site, but plugging security holes, which is a variety of differences through all reports. A 4 -Chen Moderator has said on social media that work is underway to restore the site, but many users of the 4Chan IRC channel have admitted that it really ends. And at least one boy has no objection:
