‘Gay furries’ group hacks agencies in US states attacking gender-affirming care

Data released by SiegedSec from six states includes South Carolina police files and contact details for Nebraska court officials

www.theguardian.com

A group of self-described anti-US government “gay furries” have distributed hacked materials from agencies in six US states in recent days, citing legislative attacks on gender-affirming care as their motive.

The data released by the group, which calls itself SiegedSec, includes South Carolina police files, a list of licensed therapists in Texas and contact details for court officials in Nebraska. The Guardian’s review of that data has substantiated the group’s claims that the materials sourced from state and local agencies are genuine.

A post to SiegedSec’s Telegram channel on Tuesday night announced that “MOAR DAMAGE MUST BE DONE!” and “Our next attack on the U.S government has arrived!” Furries are a subculture united by passion for anthropomorphism.

SiegedSec said its motive was “to make a message towards the US government”, adding: “Texas happens to be one of the largest states banning gender-affirming care, and for that, we have made Texas our target.”

The most substantial dump comes from South Carolina’s criminal justice information services (CJIS), a branch of the state law enforcement division (Sled), South Carolina’s state police.

According to CJIS’s website, the agency “serves as the central state criminal justice information repository – collecting, processing, storing and disseminating crime data and criminal identification and record information”.

The website also outlines agency activities including storing and serving fingerprint data, maintaining the state’s sex offender registry, collating crime reports and feeding information to the National Crime Information Center.

Tuesday’s post promises more breaches aimed at governments passing anti-LGBTQ+ laws.

“We have planned the next attacks carefully,” the post reads.

No, this isn't an Onion article. Turns out the real deep state is actually anti-US government gay furries. This is quite possibly one of the funniest headlines of all time.

I don't the the GOP realizes the dark force of nature they have unleashed upon themselves.

While the specific gay furry group is funny, political hackivism is definitely becoming more prevalent both domestically and abroad. It will be interesting to see how government adapt to this new kind of digital protest tactic.

Hacking people and governments isn't a protest.
It's a crime. Don't matter who does it.

Last year I would have cared, today, not so much. The Supreme Court is proving more dangerous to me.

Well...obviously it is a crime. I don't think that makes it a illegitimate form of protest.

Russians have hacked their own government as a form of protest. Hackers DDoS'd the Texas website that let you reported if you suspected someone was going to get an abortion as a form of protest. Hong Kong protesters hacked police and published lists of who was arrested as form of protest.

If you exclusively support the kinds of protest that government don't care about because they aren't a threat, you don't support protesting governments at all.

Appreciate the response, but I will never understand furries or bronies, not my thing, I guess.

Here's all I'm saying: In a free society, hacking people and governments in protests, falls within the same framework of justification as trying to murder people and attacking the government in protest. Both can be done for activist causes, but ultimately playing a game of who should be allowed to hack, or murder in protest, is a reaaaaally bad idea. Prosecute anyone who does it, and call it a day.

Decades ago when we started laying out our college paper on computers, we wondered whether the government would be able to control everyone through computers. I said I thought hackers might check the power of government.

C'mon hackers! I'm rooting for you.

It depends. Governments can become tyrannical or police states that disallow any protests that would actually be effective. Those that are using the levers of power to oppress others are likely to come up against some protests that fall into the "disallowed" category. Whether those actions are moral or right can be a grey area ultimately decided by history.

So, for example I'm thinking of say the French resistance in WW2, or dissidents in North Korea.

The difference between government force and force against the government is the "legitimacy" of the government.

Hacking may be a crime, but it does matter who does it and depending on the motive, it certainly can be a protest.

We have too many people who think legal and illegal are the same as right and wrong.
