“We’re willing to make a deal with INL. If they research creating irl catgirls we will take down this post,” SiegedSec wrote in a post announcing the leak on Monday.

      Groups like this do it because they can, and usually not for any other reason. If they cared about anything they would make statements about how easy it would be for foreign governments to do the same thing they did, or work on taking down alt-right cesspool websites or whatever.

    …Something tells me that they were just fucking with whoever asked for their demands.

      Nuclear labs are the low hanging fruit when it comes to security, apparently.

        Reactor development HR departments aren’t really national security targets. I mean MAAAYBE you could get plutonium if you blackmailed them, but not really.

          Fetishized catboys, was populated by foxgirls (like me).

          And yes, many plane- tank- and ship-fuckers.

          I miss it so much, that last year before reddit took a shit on itself was glorious on NCD. We haven’t found each other on lemmy sadly.

            Well, I’m sure that if the Idaho National Laboratory caves to these hackers’ demands and invents a particle beam cannon that transforms its target into a catgirl it’s likely that the technology will be possible to generalize into catboys, foxgirls, and other similar animal-people. Heck, perhaps they can dial it all the way up to deer. I’ll need to come up with a more specific username if that happens. So even if these hackers aren’t NCD themselves they’re probably natural allies.

    False flag. I don’t see Gay Furries calling for catgirls. But it sure tried to make homosexuals look bad, yeah?

    “Let’s start a nuclear holocaust for the lulz” wasn’t on my 2023 bingo card, but I’ll add it to my 2024 bingo card.

    Hacking into gay furries seems like a niche school of hacking, but whatever… I guess everything has an exploit these days.
