https://www.wired.com/story/4chan-good-smile/ Does this mean $8,000,000 was paid to buy 4chan from m00t?
The text of the deal shows that Nishimura invested $800,000 of his own money, plus $4.8 million from his company—using cash from a major Japanese telecommunications company. But the most surprising part of the deal came from Good Smile Company, which acquired a 30 percent share in 4chan for its $2.4 million investment.

It's wild how much money was invested into 4chan yet they couldn't even hire one decent programmer.

Oh, right,
"pwease make a password containing at least 1 special character, 4 numbers, Ancient Sumerian script to make it incredibly hard for a human to remember but piss-easy for a computer to brute force, so you'll eventually throw your hands up in annoyance and use the same fucking password everywhere".

Shithead pick a random sentence from a book on your shelf and use it as a password. Easy to remember and easy to find if you forget.

If anyone who had a precursory understanding of cyber security worked at 4chan, wouldn't they have quickly picked up on a vulnerability like this?

Yes.

Think of it like this: 4chan got too big for its pants, and those pants were meant to be replaced/stitched as 4chan grew yearly. When 4chan grew up to be an adult, it was still wearing its little boy pants, with holes, tears, seams and stains while all the other web servers had cool trendy denims.

4chan had no maintenance team, the admin was an admin in name only, the mods were power drunk and gay, and the jannies steered the content flow towards a state of depravity and troonacy.

It was inevitable.

But over the last 10 years 4chan has been getting steadily worse. So I'm sure it will come back, but to what capacity is dubious at best. Not updating the sites security since 2015 is a sign they might not know what they are doing past general moderation.

Yes, its how things are today with the entire internet. You have to wade through a sea of normie shit, talking about retarded crap. There was gatekeeping before, no idiot could just tap his smartphone and go on the internet and spout whatever retarded shit he wanted. It took some level of competence to figure out even how to get on the internet. So that set the bar.

You have to add a few numbers or special characters within the words of the sentence, otherwise it will be easily brute forced with a dictionary attack.

So?
Pick a sentence with a number and a quote or parenthesis.
How many words does the sentence need for this dictionary attack to not be an option?
