  From their telegram:

  final hack~

  over the past 7 days, we have released a hack every day, from NATO to Israel, we attacked many. we have one more gift for you all, its one minute till midnight so i’ll start the show~

  we hacked The Heritage Foundation :3 (holy moly!!!) The Heritage Foundation is a conservative think tank in America, among the most influential public policy organizations. this organization is responsible for leading Project 2025, an authoritarian Christian nationalist plan to reform the United States government.

  Project 2025 threatens the rights of abortion healthcare and LGBTQ+ communities in particular. so of course, we won’t stand for that! ^-^

  we have gained access to The Heritage Foundation’s database, with user data, logs, and other juicy info :D we also accessed 200GB+ of other, mostly useless, files in their server. these useless files wont be leaked.

  mew mew i wonder what would happen if we leaked the passwords, email addresses, and full names of every user :3 every US government employee, even the Heritage president Kevin Roberts.

  be gay do crime~

  LEAK: mega.nz/file/cD8mHRjD#YGxykiDiQMdvMz1SneiwPL6zTDB…

  thank you to verty for greatly helping with this hack!

    Why put out a leak using mega‽

    Why not a torrent which is decentralised and not annoying like Mega

      If the feds connect to the tracker before the file is fully seeded, the IP address of the lone seeder will be exposed. Torrents are good for their resistance to censorship, but they’re bad for privacy.

        That can be solved by setting up multiple partial seeders, so none has the full file, but as a whole they can still seed it.

        And/or seeding over I2P.
