Tossing Tumblr consumers, it seems that 4 China’s death reports were premature. Earlier in April, a hack of the notorious Ezlevard image board that did by a rival board called Soya Jack. The party forced the 4Chan offline and as a result, its identity was not disclosed. Now it’s back back, with a Blog Post Explaining how “destructive” loss was possible.
“Although not all of our servers were violated, the most important thing was, and the reason was not to update the old operating system and code in a timely fashion. Finally, this problem was due to insufficient skilled human time available to update our code and infrastructure, due to the payment, and the provider of the service, and the service.
The hack included the “Bogus PDF Upload” and as well as the PDF uploading has been temporarily disabled on the 4Chan. The feature will come back, but nothing else. “A slow but very beloved board, / F / – Flash, however won’t come back, because there is no realistic way to prevent similar achievements using .SWF files.”
There is no mention of the fact that personal information was stolen by 4chan passers, who pay to leave Captcha’s verification. Which seems to be a major problem of site’s long -term health, as anonymous is the whole point of 4 Chen. Nevertheless, this blog, which is hosted on 4Chan’s hateful enemy Tumblr, is offering his return as a victory: “4 China has returned. No other website can replace it, or to this community, no matter how difficult it is, we are not defeating.”
