Former President Donald Trump gives a speech on tax reform at the Heritage Foundation's President's Club Meeting at a hotel in Washington, DC, on October 17, 2017.

An established cybercrime group with a track record of attacking political targets posted on Tuesday roughly two gigabytes of data from the Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C.

Self-described “gay furry hackers,” SiegedSec said it released the data in response to Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, a set of proposals that aim to give Donald Trump a set of ready-made policies to implement if he wins this fall’s election. Its authors describe it as an initiative “to lay the groundwork for a White House more friendly to the right.”

The data, reviewed by CyberScoop, includes Heritage Foundation blogs and material related to The Daily Signal, a right-wing media site affiliated with Heritage. The data was created between 2007 and November 2022.

The group says it gained access to the data on July 2 and released it to provide “transparency to the public regarding who exactly is supporting heritage (sic),” a spokesperson for the group who goes by the online handle “vio” told CyberScoop in an online chat Tuesday.

The data includes the “full names, email addresses, passwords, and usernames” of people associating with Heritage, vio said, including users with U.S. government email addresses. “This itself can have an impact to heritage’s (sic) reputation,” they added, “and it’ll especially push away users in positions of power.”

SiegedSec also claimed to be in possession of more than 200 gigabytes of additional “mostly useless” data, which the group said won’t be released.

The attack was carried out as part of SiegedSec’s “OpTransRights,” campaign, which has previously included the defacement of government websites and data theft from states either considering or implementing anti-abortion or anti-trans legislation.

The Heritage Foundation did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday. The attack marks the second suffered by Heritage this year. In April, a Heritage official told Politico that the think tank had shut down its network in response to a breach by a nation-state hacking group.

Democrats have sought to tie Trump to Project 2025 proposals as an example of what to expect from his second term. Heritage President Kevin Roberts made news last week when he said the American right was “in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

SiegedSec, which emerged on Telegram in April 2022, has also targeted various NATO portals, the city of Fort Worth and a company involved in the monitoring of offshore oil and gas facilities.

Heritage is one of those Buckleyite mainstream neocon think tanks that have failed to conserve anything beyond Raytheon & Lockheed Martin's profit margins for the last 50 years (quite literally, they were founded in 1973), and were more recently among the many Republican establishment types felted by Trump (although them not going full retard with the Never-Trump stuff has allowed them to retain a degree of relevance post-2016, unlike say the Lincoln Project circus). Imagine first being stupid enough to think these supremely watered-down perennial losers were going to be the architects of any great Christian nationalist takeover with an eye on retvrning to the 1954 societal status quo, and secondly getting BTFO'd so brutally by them anyway that you even somehow made these stodgy old-guard ConInc brainlets look genuinely based in the process.

I'm almost tempted to wonder whether SiegedSec were actually hired by Mike Howell this whole time in some convoluted gayops to enhance Heritage's street cred with the rising right-wing populist crowd. But then I remembered that nope, terminally online tranny furry faggots really can be and often are this retarded.

Are you aware that you won't be able to wear a furry tiger costume when you're getting pounded in the ass in the federal prison I put you in next year?

It seems not even directors of "conservative" think tanks are immune from Mutt's Law. Still based though.

 

[NIGGO KILLA]

I unfortunately must interject with bad news


Jackie or as we like to call her Snackie has attached herself to this story and has claimed its all a Chinese op



It's unfortunately gone viral and she appears to be soaking up the lime light


Why a never Trumper is giving a W to chuds is beyond my understanding


Is what she saying even true and its the gooks messing with red blooded americans? I wouldn't trust this bitch with a toaster

 

[Smashed & Slamed]

I notice how they are all "We totally stand against you and everything you stand for" while trying to act like good guys "we don't seek fame or money!!!"

Trying to be the 'good guys' while setting themselves up to be 'we're poor victims, they're just picking on us for being activists' at the same time.

Still, I wonder just how hard the Heritage Foundation is going to go after these guys.

Gay furries and you know it's just shot through with trannies. They can't expect public support like they would have gotten even 5 years ago.

Looks kind of like they're shocked the Heritage Foundation fought back.

I think my favorite part is: "I would like to be left alone without my rights being threatened" part in the third image/beginning of the last.

>All lower caps poster that still uses punctuation on a lottery basis
Why are they all like this?

I don’t mean to offend but I have to ask Jackie Singh personally since I’ve been told she’s watching. How retarded do you to be to believe that the Chinese did this? Seriously Jackie grow up. You’re older than me have a little self respect.

This is racist and immature commentary about the Chinese, I believe they have better things to do like stealing actual state secrets.

 

[skunt]

i got into an argument IRL with someone about this. i read a quick overview here and because we talked about it a few days prior i brought it up again asking if they'd seen the updates. they had, we both laughed.
we then talked a bit about project2025 and because i'd read a few sites trying to figure out what exactly it was, i just asked them to explain it to me. the entire thing just sounds utterly nonsensical.

do people actually believe something like this is possible? on the left and the right?
i have to laugh because the overview i got makes it sound like a manifesto written by an upset 15 year old.

it's funny kinda. i tend to sympathise more with the right because of all the rampant degeneracy on the left and then stuff like this comes out and my only recourse is to assume that americans in general are just fundamentally and irrevocably retarded.

 

[Barry Williams]

No, you don't understand. We can send them all back. All of them. Just trust me bro.

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

secondly getting BTFO'd by them anyway and in such a way that you even somehow made these stodgy old-guard ConInc brainlets look genuinely based in the process.

this is what really amazes the fuck out of me
this isn't like, some group who regularly makes "free helicopter rides for commies" jokes
this is like Paul Harvey responding with "And that fat woman who sucked my balls was... YOUR MOM! and now you know... the rest of the story! good day?"

 

[Seething Troon Collector]

Do we have names yet? Others should be in the process of flipping to roll these 3 goobers up if this goes down the way I think it will. They sound like a small clique in a big pond. I really want to foia these furries.

Self-proclaimed blackhat hacker. Start hacking group. Find a vulnerable server and a canned script. Attack server. Shit-talk on social media. Quit because you realize that you don't actually know shit. Get arrested weeks later.

Why did you get arrested? BECAUSE YOU USING A FUCKING DISCORD SERVER TO FACILITATE COMMITTING A CRIME! There are lots of ways to enable secure, ephemeral communication. You used discord to organize a cyberattack like a troon uses discord to groom children. Fucking retards.

Jackie or as we like to call her Snackie has attached herself to this story and has claimed its all a Chinese op

If only Jackie spent as much time pretending to be a mother and productive citizen instead of pretending to be a computer hacker and unproductive guntguard for the pepperoni bandit of Milwaukee.

It’s funny these fuckers think they’re le heckin anonymous when I can crack their passwords through their Apple Watch gyroscopically. Amateurish desu.

 

[Snekposter]

holy fucking kino

Personally I think this is the best line from the guy:

"FUCKING DO IT, YOU LITERAL FAGGOTS!"

 

[Seething Troon Collector]

Obviously you would leverage a new attack vector in the Apple Watch called 'The Random Oscillation of Numerical Twitches' or TROON to determine the exact position of the hands when entering a password using a keyboard. It works even better if the target is wearing rainbow knee socks.

We expect to see many threat actors adopt TROON as an initial attack vector.

My data analysis gets fucked up by 48 hour goon sessions. A horrifying prospect.

 

[Nekoi.Inukuma.00]

Hacktivists are slacktivists nowadays or they’re feds themselves. They’re like a gayer form of The Jester and they’re fully state backed so they’ve legally covered their asses, I’m so tired of the Anonymous bullshit.

Sorry for seething but after fully reading the article I can confidently say these are the types to talk shit get hit hard.

Was hoping a thread already started so I could say exactly this. Only point I'd disagree with is they're not going to get hit hard, as the target in question is acceptably fair game to the powers-that-be... and they're probably all feds, fed CIs, or IC adjacent enough (like th3j3st3r) so to not get v& over this.

And add to the list the ADL, the NAACP and the SPLC.

Now those targets, that'd be the good sauce, and will absolutely get you v&.

Overall, I'm disappointed at these LARPers. Like, previous hacker groups used to go hard, and not be such retards. It's all skids and feds these days; fucking boring.

You’re right. It definitely does seem to be flowing towards the fake and gay state backed response. A bipartisanship government would at the very least acknowledge this as an issue but it’s been largely ignored. Although we need to consider the Biden spectacle catastrophe here within the past months.

 

[Troonos]

Hackers are supposed to attack the power establishment. The fact that these ones are hacking an organization resisting the power establishment tells me they're just evil and need a bullet.

 

[Flaming Dumpster]

I'm curious about Mike Howell sending them their Bitcoin addy at the end. Did they just have it on their Signal profile or did they attempt to ransom them at the very beginning but chose not to include that in the log as it's bad optics?

Guess we'll never know but these guys seem so fucking stupid that the addy is probably 1 degree of separation from the dude's Coinbase account.

Rest in piss "SeigedSec".

 

[Seething Troon Collector]

I mean, if we're being honest, the stereotypical 'hacker' that people usually think of with some sort of 90s nostalgia; they all grew the fuck up and got jobs.

Problem is the Tumblr generation is trying to oust them to hire more of their troon friends, so maybe it'll make a comeback.

 

[Jump]

It is two gb of information, it is nothing size wise, they must have access the low level insecure folder and that is it

2gig is like 1 of their books. All their stuff looks like this

Heritage Foundation WANTS you to read their shit. This is why no one is talking about whats actually in the hack. Its likely just the long boring stuff that they publish anyways.

Project 2025 is a 900 page paper. That's why I lol when people try and make a big deal about Trump saying he doesn't know whats in P2025. Its a 900 page boring as hell think tank paper. Does anyone really believe Trump has the attention span to read 900 pages of anything? The MSM is making P2025 out like its some super powerful plan to take over the world. It's just a paper that says "Hey we should do what George Soros did, but with conservatives",
