The information obtained was limited to usernames, names, email addresses, and incomplete password information of both Heritage and non-Heritage content contributors, as well as article comments and the IP address of the commenter. No Heritage systems were breached at any time, and all Heritage databases and websites remain secure, including Project 2025. The data at issue has been taken down, and additional security steps have since been taken as a precaution.
So you’re saying that there was no breach at heritage because… you gave away your users data to a contractor?
Yeah, what a cop out.
We weren’t hacked, guys! It was just our data specifically that was hacked from the contractors we pay to protect it! That’s totally different and better, right?
Have you hugged your gay furry today?
Accepting hugs 24/7
If I wear a Velcro suit while hugging you would wacky sitcom level shenanigans occur?
Wacky sitcom shenanigans are a given :p
I once moved into an apartment with three other gay furries (one being an old friend), and another joined us shortly after. Two bedroom, one bath, and 5 furs. Playing reverse jenga with the trash can (whoever tips it, takes it out) and occasionally walking around nude were just par for the course. Using paper towels as emergency tp, and hearing the couple who were the actual renters getting frisky in the shower, were less common but not unexpected. And I ordered pizza so often that we got on a first-name basis with the delivery guy. Getting naughty with the friend was nice, too, when my bf wasn’t visiting (we were open).
Oh, and it was my first time living through a proper winter. Waking up to see my friend had left the window open, and the world a textureless white, was a nightly thing. I’m too cold, he’s too hot, screams. I ended up running stress tests on my computer to generate heat, and we settled on a mostly-closed window policy.
Life now is mundane by comparison. Though I’m in a master/pet relationship with the friend, he’s got a bf, and there’s been talk of moving in together, so… History kinda repeats itself? I’m okay with pizza-box trash jenga and being nude again. :P
Wait, you can own a furry?
No, but I bet head scritches and treats will endear them to you
Furries keep the Internet running. Anger them at your peril.
I love it when real news report headlines sound like an article from The Onion.
I don’t… It’s fucking depressing
Why? The Heritage Foundation are an intellectual joke. They can’t win in the war of ideas, they can’t suggest ideas that will last any test of time, and now are actively working to make their whim law crushing democracy itself. So if they are a joke why not mock them?
Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand

And in this event is the seeds to beat the bastards. They want us to be scared they want us to take them seriously. Some group of script kiddies made them say gay furries. To actually go out there and talk about gay furries. Serious men in serious suits saying gay furries.
Keep it up. Make them talk about sex toys, pointless fandom debates, body fluids, anything that brings them down to the level of mockery
I think in this case it’s a good thing tho (normally I’m with you)
My “I haven’t been hacked by gay furries” T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my T-shirt
whats ur opinion on vore
I myself am an omni, but I don’t judge others if they like prefer something different.
It wasn’t gay gurries, it was a group of straight scalies!
Do you think there’s a real link between furries being gay, like the type of person who is a furry just tends to be disproportionately gay and online?
Or a sociological link like people who are open enough about sexual preferences will tend to be open about all of them?
Or a news bias link like plenty of hackers are gay but you don’t hear about it, but if they are
Or is this always just the one gay furry hacker group?
It’s because the furry fandom, when it was founded back in the late 70’s by a gay polycule of sci-fi fans, was one of the only communities in existence that accepted openly gay and trans people. (And the only non-fetish community.) For many queer people, the furry fandom is the first place they ever feel welcome.
Basically the two weird kids in school decided to hangout together? I don’t mean that in a bad way, I mean in a cute way.
Sounds to me like they still haven’t rectified the breach. Cool. 🤘
We are in the process of identifying and outting members of your group
Reputations and lives will be destroyed
Closeted Furries will be presented to the world for the degenerate perverts they are
You cannot hide Your means are miniscule compared to mine. You now can either turn yourself in or you can cooperate
This guy talks like a moronic middle school bully. And the fucked up grammar (especially casing) is definitely on brand.
Literally sounds like a teenage boy who spent too much time on 4chan
Misspelled ‘incel’
Just going from the headline, I assumed the “Heritage Foundation” was a non profit that worked to preserve our civilisation’s historic buildings, locations, works of art and culture.
Turns out they’re just bigoted fascists, I guess? Huh.
A lot of those over in the USA at the moment. I mean, we have our fair share in Europe too, but ya know, it feels like it’s reaching a tipping point in the USA where fascists have by now infiltrated everything at all levels… :-/
Heritage Foundation is the main Republican “think tank.” When Republicans are out of power they hire people who they expect will return to power. When a politician writes a book no one gives a shit about, they buy copies in bulk to try to manipulate The NY Times best-seller list and make it seem popular. It’s just an arm of the Republican Party.
The equivalent for Democrats is the Center for American Progress. It’s not as evil but it’s also not a real think tank. (Real think tanks hire Ph D’s and produce academic-level work. Heritage and CAP are more like marketing companies masquerading as non-profits.)
In the US, anything with “heritage” in its name is usually racist. The word became a dog whistle for white supremacists after the civil rights era.
I want everything SiegedSec found. I intend to copy it and store it for safekeeping.
Cue the Dril tweet.
They have no comment on if they were hacked by pansexual furries.
“I’m not owned! I’m not owned!” I continue to insist as I slowly shrink and transform into a corn cob
