Though the exact details of the situation have not been confirmed, community infighting seems to have spilled out in a breach of the notorious image board.

    I feel like the result of this is gonna be a big ol nothingburger. There’s no way someone works as a mod/admin for the most controversial website on the internet and uses an email address that can be linked to their real identity, and doesn’t use a VPN/tor.

    Pretty sensationalist article IMO. I mean, they act like the source code being leaked is newsworthy. Somebody with a month of coding experience could write that website in an afternoon.

      Worse, some ppl used their work email:

      The leak reportedly included [.]edu and [.]gov email addresses.

        I’ve seen the list on the party site. Only 3 .edu, 0 .gov emails.
