An established cybercrime group with a track record of attacking political targets posted on Tuesday roughly two gigabytes of data from the Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C.

Self-described “gay furry hackers,” SiegedSec said it released the data in response to Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, a set of proposals that aim to give Donald Trump a set of ready-made policies to implement if he wins this fall’s election. Its authors describe it as an initiative “to lay the groundwork for a White House more friendly to the right.”

The data, reviewed by CyberScoop, includes Heritage Foundation blogs and material related to The Daily Signal, a right-wing media site affiliated with Heritage. The data was created between 2007 and November 2022.

...

The data includes the “full names, email addresses, passwords, and usernames” of people associating with Heritage, vio said, including users with U.S. government email addresses. “This itself can have an impact to heritage’s (sic) reputation,” they added, “and it’ll especially push away users in positions of power.”

2. They were reportedly hacked in April as well.

Allegedly by nation state actors. https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/12/heritage-foundation-cyberattack/

3. We ought to know who is working to destroy the foundation of our Federal Government.

We all should know.

[Hekate]

19. I like people with a sense of humor. I'm betting Heritage people have none.

[PuraVidaDreamin]

26. It's Bear Week in Provincetown

Lots of gay, furry and wonderfully righteous

[Wednesdays]

5. Is there anything in there we don't already know?

Besides some government email addresses, which IMO isn't really helpful.



"...to lay the groundwork for a White House more friendly to the right.”

Was that a secret?

[aggiesal]

16. Just imagine correspondence to any of the 6 SCOTUS justices ...

that just put Project 2025 into play.
I have no proof, that evidence exist, that's why I said imagine.
I'd like to think there might be.

[Hekate]

20. Yes. One never knows where this will lead.

[Sogo]

6. Help take down the Heritage Foundation. Here's how:

7. Please translate. Don't use Tiktoc.

[LuvLoogie]

8. It may be the steps to report them to the IRS.

People share a lot of useful info on TikTok.
and the link is to a web page. you don't have to log in. it is not the app.

The link is to a video I saw earlier today in the app. It's a good one

12. I asked my TikTok expert for help.

In the meantime, I ocr'ed some screensnaps from the video in the browser. Hope it helps. (redundant, but that's OK)

The Heritage Foundation he been widely revealed as the architects of Project 2025
Presidential Transition Project and in support of presidential candidate Donald J Trump

This is political and in violation of the rules of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c) (3)
which prohibits tax exempt organizations from participating in politics

The Heritage Foundation holds a tax exempt status and therefore has violated these rules

action must be taken

Form 13909 on the IRS website

it's a fillable PDF you can fill right on your computer

download it with the changes

or on your phone email it to the IRS

iterally it's the first thing link that pops up when you
Google FORM 13909
and then you email it to [e-mail]
you can also file anonymously

I even quickly created a new Gmail just to send an anonymous! as well because with this craziest shits getting everything I can do
this is an example this is a screenshot of my complete form here (almost)



it's John P Backiel

he's vice president, finance and accounting, and treasurer of the Heritage Foundation

9. If they turn up a connection to Russia, I will be doing a happy dance

because we can get those fuckers declared a foreign terrorist organization.

Sadly, I think Russia has little to do with them beyond maybe some minor funding in the past, they're really that stupid on their own.

[AverageOldGuy]

10. So , , , , , , ,

How about they post names, home addresses, email addresses, and everything thing have.

I'll be glad to show up in front of their homes with signs, bullhorns, whatever.

You want to fuck with this country, fine, I'll be delighted to fuck with you.

My experience over 80 years is that people such as these in the Heritage Foundation are cowards. They prefer darkness and anonymity . . . expose the muthahfuckahs and watch them run like the cowards they are.

11. Ever get the feeling these self identified right wing Heritage Foundation 'patriots' may have over reached?

Heritage Foundation zealots and tax evaders may just have pushed real INTEL and LEOs a bit too far. Considering Trump's past actions giving things to Putin, and the loss of who knows how many assets, there's gotta be some mighty pissed off spooks who actually love our country.

There's a war on.

13. Thank you, usonian!

Everyone should call it the KOCH Heritage Foundation. Let's nail that stealth monster.


You have made my day!

[chouchou]

14. I'd love to see an exciting movie made out of the take-down, regarding the Heritage Foundation.

..or change the name to Selfish bags of lowest-protoplasm-in-the-Universe Foundation

15. If you see "Full Metal Jacket", all of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman's insults apply (I wouldn't use them myself)

17. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of scum.

[Ford_Prefect]

18. Someone at Treasury, the FBI, the FEC, or DOJ Civil Rights Division should be taking notes and writing warrants.

the 2025 project is clearly proposing to violate all sorts of individual rights such that RICO statutes could apply, just as they have in the case of the KKK.

[Hekate]

21. Thanks usonian! Kicking this for a late night crowd. Keep it kicked awhile.

[usonian]

22. It's late on the west coast.

Cheers to insomniacs and people all over the globe.

Oh, Aloha! 🌺🌴

[Hekate]

23. 🌺Aloha back atya...🌺

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. Huh? What? Who woke me up? The Heritage Foundation seems to be skirting the edge of sedition.

[live love laugh]

25. Great! Now do the Federalist Society
