I like how the hackers who are exposing the Heritage Foundation as the HQ for American right-wing Christofascism are the criminals. Good job “unbiased” media.

I mean yeah hacking is definitely a crime even if they’re exposing bad people

Ok, that’s the good stuff, I was thinking 2 GB is nothing. But, 2 GB of logon credentials can make lots of future leaks.

A Heritage spokesperson told CyberScoop after publication that the organization was not “hacked.” Instead, the spokesperson said “an organized group stumbled upon a two-year-old archive of The Daily Signal website that was available on a public-facing website owned by a contractor. The information obtained was limited to usernames, names, email addresses, and incomplete password information of both Heritage and non-Heritage contributors, as well as article comments and the IP address of the commentor.”
At least they’re admitting to being incompetent…
