The controversial website 4Chan.com finally resumed operations on Saturday, 10 days after it was hacked, which resulted in the personal information of several former managers being leaked online. In a statement issued by the site's operator, the hacker accessed the 4Chan browser on April 14 via an IP address in the UK.
For your information, they confirmed that the site was hacked because the infrastructure had not been updated for a long time due to financial constraints. It took 10 days to restore the site because the outdated browser had to be replaced with newer hardware. The operating system and code have also been updated to the latest version to prevent the same incident from happening again.
At this time, PDF file uploads have been blocked because hackers use them to access browsers. The /f/ – Flash forum will also be closed permanently because there is no way to patch the SWF file security vulnerability.
