“Gay Furry Hackers” Claim Credit for Hacking Heritage Foundation Project 2025

SiegedSec, a hacking collective calling itself "gay furry hackers," claimed credit for breaching Heritage Foundation databases and releasing material as part of its #OpTransRights campaign against organizations opposing transgender rights. SiegedSec called Project 2025 "an authoritarian Christian nationalist plan to reform the United States government," and said it obtained passwords and user information for "every user" of a Heritage database. Heritage said SiegedSec obtained only incomplete password information, and a spokesperson, Noah Weinrich, said no Heritage systems were breached and the files were a two-year-old Daily Signal archive on a contractor's public site.
