    Call me paranoid, but I feel like the “gay furry” part is a false flag. Especially the demand for irl catgirls and not catboys. I mean, they could be lesbians, but something has felt off about everything they claim responsibility for.

      Transbians calling themselves gay furry hackers is not outside of the realm of possibility, but yeah false flag is also possible.

      My thoughts exactly. But a beautiful headline for the media so they won’t mention words such as “agent state”.

    I suppose this is preferable to a nation state hacking it. Now they can patch some holes.

      I think it’s likely a nation state. the gay furry claim is just a distraction.

    “Gay furry hackers…”

    You can just say hackers, you don’t need to repeat yourself.

    In reality this seems like barely news, but I do have to admit it’s a hell of a headline.

    I completely support their efforts. For legal reasons this is a joke.

      Implying modern 4chan has both the mental and collaborative capacity to do something like this.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The self-described “gay furry hackers” of SiegedSec are back: this time boasting they’ve broken into America’s biggest nuclear power lab’s computer systems and stolen records on thousands of employees.

    “On Monday, November 20, Idaho National Laboratory determined that it was the target of a cybersecurity data breach in a federally approved vendor system outside the lab that supports INL cloud Human Resources services,” spokesperson Lori McNamara told The Register today.

    East Idaho News reported it was able to confirm the authenticity of the leaked information with several INL employees, which SiegedSec earlier posted to its Telegram channel.

    The self-styled furry hackers meanwhile have offered to remove the staff records if the lab performs experiments that at best could be described as highly irregular.

    INL employs more than 6,100 people in and around Idaho Falls at its massive 890-square mile site, which houses the densest concentration of nuclear reactors in the world.

    In its previous network penetration of NATO the group attributed its actions to the military org’s “attacks on human rights,” adding that it’s also “fun to leak documents.”
