From their telegram:

final hack~

over the past 7 days, we have released a hack every day, from NATO to Israel, we attacked many. we have one more gift for you all, its one minute till midnight so i'll start the show~

we hacked The Heritage Foundation :3 (holy moly!!!)
The Heritage Foundation is a conservative think tank in America, among the most influential public policy organizations. this organization is responsible for leading Project 2025, an authoritarian Christian nationalist plan to reform the United States government.

Project 2025 threatens the rights of abortion healthcare and LGBTQ+ communities in particular. so of course, we won't stand for that! ^-^

we have gained access to The Heritage Foundation's database, with user data, logs, and other juicy info :D we also accessed 200GB+ of other, mostly useless, files in their server. these useless files wont be leaked.

mew mew i wonder what would happen if we leaked the passwords, email addresses, and full names of every user :3 every US government employee, even the Heritage president Kevin Roberts.

be gay do crime~

Why put out a leak using mega‽

Why not a torrent which is decentralised and not annoying like Mega

bolexforsoup ,

I’m sure people will be seeding it in no time

LordJer ,

Anyone got the file to open? I tried using mega but ran into problems.

If the feds connect to the tracker before the file is fully seeded, the IP address of the lone seeder will be exposed. Torrents are good for their resistance to censorship, but they're bad for privacy.

Heritage President Kevin Roberts made news last week when he said the American right was “in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

They're really not hiding it anymore, they straight up want another civil war.

unconfirmedsourcesDOTgov ,

They were never really hiding it, we just all assumed they were insane fringe ideas and nothing would come of it. Things have changed...

As a furry

The Heritage Foundation can get absolutely fucked.

By a brown bear?

More likely a pink panda, but let's not split hairs.

I'm fine with both to be honest. They can do shifts if they want.

luckystarr , to Technology in Hacktivists release two gigabytes of Heritage Foundation data (Project 2025)

I wonder if a verifiable link to Trump can be made through network (as in graphs) analysis of the people and their connections in that list.

u_tamtam ,

Would that make a difference?

luckystarr ,

Doubtful, but, though unlikely, perhaps some media house would want to pick it up?

Thorry84 ,

It's an official act, so total immunity applies.

What isn't an official act you say? Well that's a good question, but simply put anything that isn't an unofficial act.
But then what's an unofficial act I hear you ask? I'll let you know once we have found one, but so far none have been found and it's possible none exist.

ramble81 ,

Close… the way it was phrased it basically becomes up to the Supreme Court to decide what’s “official”

sunzu , to Technology in Hacktivists release two gigabytes of Heritage Foundation data (Project 2025)

Bootlickers in shambles...

I wonder if they go on record calling us peasants haha

varsock , to Privacy in Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act, preventing data broker sales to government agencies, moves forward

A step in the right direction but until there are more robust privacy laws in place, this will not go away.

If their gov is restricted on buying from data brokers, are other governments, foreign entities?

The inherit issue is the American's data can be harvested and sold. Setting up legal restrictions toward certain entities will just cause those entities to "legally self identify" as another entity. Or do business with an entity that is allowed access to American's data.

HubertManne ,
@HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

so much agree. Why do we even allow data brokers? How about something like an entitiy cannot collect information that is not necessary to conduct the business it is in and cannot sell or provide that information to any other entity outside of the one they collected the information from which must be provided free upon request.

varsock ,

wow 10 months flew by since this was posted and since then the United States had a surprise privacy bill that is bipartisan that sort of addresses the issues you and I mentioned. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/04/07/congress-privacy-deal-cantwell-rodgers/

This bill was proposed around the same time the TikTok ban was announced. I speculate that law makers had a difficult time framing the arguments against TikTok when "the data of citizens have no protections so there was no easy legal grounds to forbit the likes of TikTok to harvest it"

From what I've heard, this bill is pretty good. I need to educate myself more on it, however.

They're Republicans. Reality doesn't matter, only Power and Party.

They'll gladly shoot themselves in the foot as long as it hurts poor people more.

Adalast ,

So what I'm hearing is that any cyber "vindication" should be targeted at the highest income communities in the states. Gotcha.

abhibeckert , to Technology in Is there a term for being right and then your opposition getting taught a lesson proving you were right? EPA calls off cyber regulations for water sector.

The term you're looking for is "vindication".

code , to Technology in Is there a term for being right and then your opposition getting taught a lesson proving you were right? EPA calls off cyber regulations for water sector.

Well i think its a little of both. Technically i think epa overstepped its authority, but CISA is the exact place it should come from. Ideally any agency like this would work with CISA who has the mandate. Its certainly complicated when you get into an agency “making law” and theres a case in front of the supreme court now that could disrupt all of that.

redfox OP ,
@redfox@infosec.pub avatar

That's a good point. There's law and then there's administrative policies.

I agree with the assertion that the mandate was probably more in CISAs realm.

In the end, it needed to happen. Maybe administrations will consider being less petty and just doing what everyone knows needs to be done. Ha ha. Right.
