Hacktivist Group "Gay Furries" Breaks Into Government Websites In 5 States In Protest of Anti-Trans Stances

The self-described “gay furries” in the hacking group known as SiegedSec have expanded their campaign against five states for their stances on transgender issues. The group, which leaked data from the Texas city of Forth Worth earlier this month, claimed that it had breached government websites belonging to the states of Nebraska, South Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and once again Texas. In an announcement on the breaches, which encourages readers to “be gay do crime,” SiegedSec says it targeted the Nebraska Supreme Court Intranet, the website for the South Dakota Boards and Commissions, personal information from the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council, Pennsylvania’s Provider Self-Service website, as well as the website for the South Carolina Criminal Justice Information Services. The hacking group also went on to state that it retrieved health-related information out of Texas and caused disruptions to systems in Pennsylvania. Most troubling, SiegedSec claimed it came across over 15,000 childcare records, although it has no intention of publishing them. While much of the information itself might not be sensitive, the hackers’ campaign has certainly drawn attention. The attacks appear to be a continuation of the group’s campaign against states it sees as opposing gender-affirming care for transgender youth. #Queer Up Technology
