4chan

4chan has been hacked.

Evidently, some hacker had access to root on 4chan's servers since 2021 and planned the hack for a few years.

Oh well, despite the fact that people are crying about it and saying "this is the end," 4chan will probably be back in a few hours.

So 4chan very likely got hacked because they were running on an extremely out of date version of PHP that has a lot of vulnerabilities and exploits and are using deprecated function to interact with there MySQL database. Web security 101: Keep your code and software up to date.
