>A 4chan splinter site called soyjack party, aka sharty, claimed to be behind the security breach, and posted what they alleged was a ton of internal data on their rival website, including source code and info on moderators and lower-level mods called janitors. The leak reportedly included [.]edu and [.]gov email addresses. The hack-and-leak has spurred further speculation that 4chan may be a federal law enforcement honeypot, and now that some of the moderators have reportedly been doxxed, it could put them at personal risk.
