4chan, a notorious imageboard, has become largely inaccessible following a significant data breach where hackers leaked internal website code and staff personal information. An anonymous user on the rival site, soyjack.party, claimed that the hacker had gained access to 4chan's system for over a year. The situation escalated as a 4chan admin reportedly took the servers offline in a damage control effort. As a result, users have encountered extensive availability issues, with 4chan only being accessible intermittently.
In a post on Monday evening to the rival imageboard soyjack.party, an anonymous user claimed that a hacker was able to leak website code and the personal information of staff after being in 4chan's system for over a year.
The user went on to claim that a 4chan admin, in an attempt to control the damage, took its servers offline.
Screenshots shared in the Soyjack thread show what appears to be admin-level access to 4chan. In one example, an image shows an internal discussion in /j/, a private board for moderators and volunteer guideline enforcers known as janitors.
As of Tuesday morning, the imageboard was only available intermittently.
