4chan hacked, internal data leaked on rival image board

Posted on April 15, 2025 by Dissent

Mikael Thalen reports:

The notorious imageboard 4chan is currently inaccessible after hackers appear to have leaked internal data from the website.

In a post on Monday evening to the rival imageboard soyjack.party, an anonymous user claimed that a hacker was able to leak website code and the personal information of staff after being in 4chan’s system for over a year.

The user went on to claim that a 4chan admin, “in an attempt to control the damage,” took its servers offline. As of Tuesday morning, the imageboard was only available intermittently.

Screenshots shared in the Soyjack thread show what appears to be admin-level access to 4chan. In one example, an image shows an internal discussion in /j/, a private board for moderators and volunteer guideline enforcers known as janitors.
