That’s why they’re so mad. They didn’t just copy it; they deleted it after. Monsters!

3000 files seems like an arbitary amount. Nothing's preventing you from creating a file for each passing millisecond.

surewhynotlem@lemmy.world · 49 pts · 2y (3 replies)

2999 of them are robot.txt files, and one is goatse.jpg.

Yeah, without any frame of reference, it's just a random, useless number.

so a group of furry hackers is a cabal, not like a pack or a litter or something

Surely it would be less redundant to just say 'hackers'

Every time someone posts a relevant XKCD comic as a response to something, I hate humanity just a little bit less.

I salute you, internet stranger.

Did you think Nato would store nukular codes on their Neocities website?

Hey I'm curious what the bad things they did were? I just know them to have revealed evidence of heinous war crimes committed by the USA.

What a relief, I'd hate to think those files ended up in the wrong paws hands.

the group says it's gotten into the government web portal for the South African OR Tambo district

As a South African, that's not much of an accomplishment

Holy shit, I mean hackers are bad but gay furry hackers...that's crossing the line.

motive?

theodewere@kbin.social · 0 pts · 2y

it's almost certainly a spoof cover of the Chinese or someone

You're asking why someone would hack one of the most evil organisations on earth?

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 2y

Slow your roll there, Vlad. You have a whole other country to finish invading first.

NecoArcKbinAccount@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

...you didn't answer my question.

Hexadecimalkink@lemmy.ml · 0 pts · 2y

Oh the motive is probably because NATO is an organisation that overthrows governments like Libya. They probably wanted to see what NATO was planning on doing in Niger or another country they want to exploit.

I cri evrytiem, also spelled "i cri evry tiem" and "i cri evrytim", is an intentionally misspelled catchphrase typically used in discussion threads and comments to convey sadness in an ironic manner.

i believe homosexuality is of lower morals, as such, i do request you to increase the positive vote count of my comment by one if you happened to weep upon reading the initial post.

You're being trolled because you missed the sarcasm in their original comment

A troll's goal is to make you angry. If you can learn to identify trolls and choose to ignore them, they won't get what they're looking for

Yet another reason to dislike furries, most unsurprising.

Knusper@feddit.de · 16 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Tons of infosec folks are furries, gay etc.. I'm presuming, because having to hide your personality is quite the motivation to learn about potential attacks and defenses.

So, no matter whether you think of this particular stunt as good or bad, it's really not indicative of gay furry hackers a whole. Most of them are holding our IT infrastructure together, without doing big name hacks in their freetime.

the call from the gay furry hackers is coming from inside the house

Vii@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 2y (3 replies)

did a furry hurt you lmao that's some silly reasoning

archonet@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (2 replies)

No, just don't like degenerates, that's all. Pretty simple reason.

Vii@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 0 pts · 2y (1 reply)

pretty silly and wrong assumption too!

archonet@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

that's fine, I forgive your stupidity.

Kerfuffle@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 2y

Pretty sure it's mainly non-furry non-gay hackers that take down the majority of websites.

It looks like someone got hacked by a furry.
