“An hero” is an old 4chan meme that is referring to a child who killed himself. There was an old MySpace memorial page made for a kid who shot himself. Someone posted a long comment that started with “He was such an hero to take it all away.” It continued to call him “an hero” several more times.
Instead of telling someone “kys” when they made a bad post, you’d tell them to become an hero.
Though the group currently calling itself Anonymous that just published all this … derives the aesthetics and what not from stuff that arose on 4chan in the mid/late 00s…
They almost certainly have nothing to do with 4chan going down.
4chan was taken down by a group of people that used to post on a 4chan subboard, which was removed… and then they started their own community ‘Soyjack Party’.
Which, ironically, is a very similar story as to why 4chan even exists: m00t used to post hentai and loli on SomethingAwful, and then that subboard got shut down, m00t and other frequent posters there got banned, and then they made 4chan.
Like… I stopped using 4chan almost two decades ago now, when m00t made a big announcement post, which later disappeared, stating that as a result of increased media scrutiny and a number of high profile crimes that were connected back to 4chan posts… well m00t said that he was cooperating with the authorities.
I can’t prove this, because … two decades ago, and the announcement was only up for … less than 24hrs… but yeah, as the SoyJack Party hack of 4chan has confirmed, it was obvious that 4chan was/is a shitshow joke of an operation held together by ducttape and fishing lines.
For fucks sake, their versions of PHP and MySQL were like 12 years out of date and had numerous, extensively well documented security flaws.

4chan should go down more often lol
I checked some of it, did they just run nikto against some russian IPs?
Their “vulnerabilities” are mostly clickjacking missing headers and secure flags on cookies (probably not even session cookies)
So it seems. The Russian business receipts may be more useful, but I’m not really sure how this data can be used.
What a hero
Anonymous are the heroes. Thanks for posting the article!
What *an hero.
Probably too old a reference for most lol
It’s an older meme, but it checks out
An earo
An gyro
A Nero

It’s funny you say a child, as a kid at that time on 4chan (yeah yeah) it didn’t come across as a “child” as they were older then me at the time.
Dark humor be like that though.
The an hero kid was 14 at the time (for context).
Yep, I was 12-13 when I discovered b
Us Scots can say our aitches - always annoys me to hear “an hospital” on the BBC.
Faaking Laanduners - that’s who’ll be saying “an hero”.
To clarify:

My joke was implying that they had nothing better to do than infiltrate confidential Russian servers since 4chan was down. Lol
Whelp, thats a whoosh moment for me than lol.
But it does seem like some other people appreciated the info :P
Happens to the best of us lol
Where is the full leak? 18GB is nothing compared to 10TB
I’m not sure. I’ve been wondering the same thing.
This, a thousand times! I’ve been waiting and hoping to see a way for the masses to have a look at the whole thing and I haven’t found one yet
Dominos pizza! I knew I tasted something fishy
Danone is an interesting one. They’re the second largest consumer water supplier in the world.

Wait what does 4chan have to do with this?
Just that it got down and all its data (emails, users, passwords) got leaked.
I guess they implied 4chan users, without 4chan, decided to pass the time by hacking Russia
Dilmah!?
pls no…
