4chan Still Down Following Reported Cyberattack: What We Know So Far
The controversial online messageboard 4chan continues to remain offline several days after reports emerged of a significant cybersecurity breach.
According to a report initially shared by Reuters, the attack allegedly exposed parts of 4chan’s internal infrastructure. Social media posts that followed claimed a hacker had infiltrated the platform, leaking moderator identities and other sensitive information
The breach was seemingly confirmed when an inactive section of 4chan mysteriously became active again, displaying a message that read “U GOT HACKED”suggesting unauthorized access.
Cybersecurity expert Alon Gal, co-founder of Hudson Rock, was quoted in the report stating that the claims of a breach appear to be credible
As of now, the site’s administrators have not publicly confirmed the full extent of the attack, and 4chan remains inaccessible
