On Monday and Tuesday, the platform faced its latest test after a series of power outages that led to speculation that the site had been hacked.

The 4chaan feature is not to unveil its general identity to spread text and images, but the same statute collects information about users, such as their IP addresses. As a result, the site’s breach could represent a significant exposure to the data that was aimed at being private.

“4chaan is an unknown message plate that allows offensive and hateful content often. Gray says that the photo panel bills as a” unknown “platform may have given users” a false sense of safety. “” Some users may have registered their email addresses for years when they were less aware or concerned about their security Working. “

Reports on the outbreak began to rotate after the appearance of a previously banned plate on 4chaan on the Internet and the site was distorted with a message saying: “XD has been hacked.” After that, an online account was published on a competitor forum known as Soyjak.party, snapshots that appear to show the rear 4char systems, as well as a list of alleged user names and user names, with their associated email addresses.

Emiliano De Cristofaro, Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California at Riferside, who searched the effect of 4chaan on the web, says that the repercussions may be great if the penetration is confirmed.

“It seems true that 4chan has not been properly preserved and corrected for years, which may indicate that the penetration will definitely be a possibility,” says De Crestofaro. “There may be some” prominent “users who suffer from supervisors – traditional, hated by 4chain users, so they may be targeted. It may be difficult or at least slow and costly for 4chaan to recover from this, so we may really see the end of 4chaan as we know it.”
