Disaster US nuclear laboratory hacked by a gay furry hacker group - Yiff in uranium

Link/Archive

A US nuclear lab working on next-generation nuclear power plants, light water reactors, and robotics was hacked by a group of self-proclaimed "gay furry hackers."

On Monday, the hacktivist group SiegedSec posted on social media platform X that it "breached the INL (Idaho National Laboratory) divulging thousands of data points such as - full name, date of birth, email address, phone number, social security number, address, employment info and more :3."

On Telegram, SiegedSec posted what appears to be proof of the data breach at INL.
INL media spokesperson Lori McNamara confirmed to local media EastIdahoNews that federal agencies are investigating the breach.

"Earlier this morning [Monday], Idaho National Laboratory determined that it was the target of a cybersecurity data breach, affecting the servers supporting its Oracle HCM system, which supports its Human Resources applications. INL has taken immediate action to protect employee data," McNamara said.
She continued, "INL has been in touch with federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security's Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency, to investigate the extent of data impacted in this incident."

So, who exactly are these hackers?



SiegedSec also hacked NATO last month, leaking a cache of documents online. The group said the attack had "nothing to do with the war between Russia and Ukraine" and said it was "a retaliation against the countries of NATO for their attacks on human rights."

It remains unclear what motivated the gay furry hackers to attack INL.

Dollars to donuts they were paid by some green energy interests to make Nuclear energy seem less safe.

A good way to get other furries on FBI watch lists. I can't wait to see some fed cruising on furnet or whatever, and after getting these dudes to admit they fucked their dog in Discord to end up in federal to get ass fucked by niggers instead of each other in a shitty 3-star holiday inn.

They're not going to watch themselves.

-See guys? Nuclear is dangerous!
-That's because you fucked it u-
-DANGEROUS!!!

I do not know which group of degenerates I hate more, fujoshis or furries.

There's nothing of value in this information I could hack into my company's payroll system literally the password system isn't even protected from you just brute forcing it because the old lady who runs the office God bless her heart always forgets the password.
You know what you would get if you act into a mid-size Construction Company nothing.
Half the people there don't even have social security cards because they're not in this country legally

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL), one of the biggest nuclear labs in the US with thousands of employees, has been hacked by the group Sieged Security (stylised SiegeSec). The hackers are self-proclaimed "gay furry hackers" who have posted a sample of the data obtained online, and are threatening to release huge amounts of employee data unless the lab makes a peculiar deal: "We're willing to make a deal with INL," says SiegeSec alongside the post, "if they research creating IRL catgirls we will take down this post."

That is a reference to a long-running meme about furries wanting to create a race of sexy human-mutant cats and, yes, none of those words are in the Bible. The data breach consists of employee addresses, Social Security numbers, birthdates, numbers, and "lots lots more!" The East Idaho News reported it contacted some of the employees in the initial leak, and verified that the information was accurate (thanks, The Register).

INL is based in Idaho Falls and employs around 6,100 people, and the scale of this thing is almost unimaginable: 890 square miles. 52 reactors have been built and operated by INL since 1949 and former director John Grossenbacher once said "the history of nuclear energy for peaceful application has principally been written in Idaho." This place developed the first nuclear generator that could provide a usable amount of electricity.

Well. SiegeSec have hit some big targets in the past, including NATO, but this is almost certainly going to attract some men in suits. It should be said that the hack does not relate to the lab or its functioning, but is focused on "Human Resources services" and apparently involved a breach at an external vendor.

SiegeSec's public posts about the hack begin "meow meow meow meow meow meow meow" before boasting about how much "yummy" and "crunchy" data it has. It added the group had messaged users via the Oracle software the lab has "showing our access" before making the proposition about catgirls.

Following the hack being made public, the group's social media account commented "Many people ask 'why?' for INL breach. We are cats, intricacies such as 'why' do not concern us." In response to one person expressing incredulity at the target, with INL involved in efforts to tackle climate change among other things, and asking whether the hackers were 12 years old, SiegeSec replied:

"INL is responsible for a lot more than climate change solutions, they were not targeted due to their involvement in climate change mitigation," before going on to list its involvement in nuclear plants, control systems cybersecurity (!), vehicle testing, bioenergy, robotics, nuclear waste processing, and more.

None of those things seem especially egregious to me, but then I'm not a furry hacker. The INL says an investigation into the breach is underway and the feds are involved:

"Earlier this morning, Idaho National Laboratory determined that it was the target of a cybersecurity data breach [...] INL has been in touch with federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security’s Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency to investigate the extent of data impacted in this incident."

In fairness to these guys, this is the kind of thing cats would probably do if they had human intelligence.

 

[Spicey McHaggis]

I'm just gonna go ahead and say the death penalty should be on the table when these guys are caught and prosecuted.

It's really sad all the autistic computer people became giant faggots sometimes in the last ten years.

And they will be caught, since it seems they did a bit more then just deface their web page as is usual when it comes to these sorts of things. Uncle Sugar is not going to appreciate his nuclear engineers getting their personal data and emails stolen.

Oh definitely. They'll realistically be lucky if they manage not to catch several terrorism related charges out of this. Even looking funny at something nuclear related is begging for trouble in this day and age.

Imagine if Julian Assange was a teenage terminally online autist today instead of in the 80's when he hacked the Pentagon.

As much as I hate faggots, furries, and catgirl shit, these guys are based to target the federal government. Fuck the feds.

 

[Party Hat Wurmple]

This is hilarious and only gay furry fucker faggots don't think it is.

This isn't recent:

Blame IT jobs being plagued by the furry virus since ancient times. Being into Unix jobs was already a red flag.

Credit where credit is due, they at least want cat girls, not cat guys.

By god I hope my country starts testing nukes with mock up towns again just so these faggots can be test subjects
