4chan has partially restored its services after a hacking incident that lasted nearly two weeks. The breach, which involved the leakage of sensitive data, resulted from a hacker exploiting an inadequate infrastructure due to years of limited resources and external pressures on advertisers. Journalists noted 4chan's controversial evolution over the years, transforming from an internet culture hub to a platform associated with extremist activities. Despite the setback, the siteâs operators expressed defiance, asserting their continued existence and commitment to overcoming challenges.
4chan's operators acknowledged that a lack of resources prevented them from updating their infrastructure, exposing the site to vulnerabilities and eventual hacking.
The hacker exploited a flaw by uploading a 'bogus PDF', gaining access to the server, leading to catastrophic damage and data leaks.
