    At this point fedposting saturation has to be 100%, different offices just competing to be the most deranged salivating for the moment some 20 something barely keeping it together comes along so they can justify next years budget

      It was determined that 4chan hacked through a PDF file upload. The hacker uploaded a pdf file which contained malicious code, the server opened the file and executed the code.

      The joke that I’ve seen people say about 4chan was “pedophiles hacked by a pdf file”. 4chan admins said they have disabled pdf uploads temporarily.

          The hacker leaked the whole website source code. I figure they have at the very least made a new server install and run updates. It’s been 10 days since it went down.

          Anyone could read the website leaked php to look for new exploits if they are still using the same code base.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
