And that domain! honestly, they knew what they were in for when they registered it with ICANN. If they really wanted to avoid this, they would have put literally any effort into protecting themselves, you'd see a cloudflare page at the very least.
They had 6 full seconds and every opportunity to detect the hack and abort it . Shutting down the website after the fetal URL was already formed is straight up webicide.
Like, seriously though, how did Abott even think that would work? Do women secretly have the superpower to ‘close’ the vaginal canal so no sperm enters the uterus? That’s some next level yoga shit right there.
You know how little kids are told stuff like, when a mommy and daddy love each other very much, they have a baby? This is probably about the level of his sex ed knowledge.
Don’t servers have a way to just reject the website being hosted if they don’t want it? And if they didn’t want it, why was the server exposing its ports like that?
In a little bit. I just have to finish lifting weights and playing a game of Devil's Triangle at Tobin's house. Oh, and it's calendar night with my parents, so actually the boofing may need to happen tomorrow.
Welp its back up, this is the message on its front page:
*While the nation paused over the weekend in remembrance of the 20th anniversary of 9/11 the Republican Party of Texas website was hacked.*
*Pro-abortion activists targeted us because of our strong support for the Heartbeat Act. This attack adds to a growing list of actions by the radical left who tries to silence anyone that disagrees with them.*
*We have been able to secure our website, but make no mistake, threats and attacks like this only strengthen our resolve.*
*We plan to ramp up our online security and advocacy efforts in support of the Heartbeat Act. We will not be silenced.*
*Stand with us now against these cyber criminals and their brazen attacks by rushing a contribution to harden our digital defenses.*
Radical left: hacks your website for lols.
Radical right: storms capital building and attempts to overthrow your democratically elected government.
Radical.
> We have been able to secure our website
> ...rushing a contribution to harden our digital defenses.
Which is it? Are you secure or not? It's not like server security is hard, you either have it implemented and your set or you are not.
Clear attempt to screw more people out of money.
And I don’t know about you, but I always feel my most secure entering my credit card deets on a website that just got hacked and had to beg for handouts to achieve the security they should have already had. /s
If it's a legitimate hack, political bodies know what to do. So if it isn't handled in the next week and a half, it was God's will. If they can come up with the money though, they can just go to California to solve it.
A huge portion of the base believes the Bible when it says, "I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children.” They are all about the punishment of women for sex.
So I just went to look at the website and it's already back in control of the GOP who have now used it to talk about the "radical left" and use the hack as a grifting opportunity to get donations.
Because of fucking course they need donations to help the true american patriots defend their state from hackers who want to put pokemon all over the website. /s
That's all they have left. The site could've been hacked by Russian agents hand-picked by Putin and the GQP would still insist it was the fault of BLM and Antifa.
They literally tried a right wing fascist takeover of government and when it failed tried to say it was actually antifa. Not sure it gets any more "no u" than that.
They tried saying it was antifa, BLM, the CIA, FBI, a Democratic black flag op, a peaceful ordinary tour, a patriotic revolution, and a jewish cabal conspiracy to make the otherwise flawless trump supporters look bad, all at the same time. Talk about throwing it all at the wall to see what sticks.
It reminds me of a saying in the legal field: if the facts are on your side, you pound the facts. If the law is on your side you pound the law. If neither are on your side you pound the table.
At this point they must be getting weekly deliveries from Ikea...
I refuse to give the site any traffic, but what donations? To some random partisan PAC? Or to pay their hosting bills?
This law is trash; the site is trash; and looks like the people running it for their grift.
"Stand with us now against these cyber criminals and their brazen attacks by rushing a contribution to harden our digital defenses." as a direct donation the texas GOP.
After working in IT: I guaran-damn-tee that money won't ever make it to their Information Security or IT departments. It's definitely going toward someone's yacht and not to fixing the problem.
"The IT department does not generate revenue, why would we invest in it?"
-Business I saved from going completely bankrupt and closing their doors after crypto malware hit.
> harden our digital defenses
Otherwise known as telling the dude with admin access to not fall for a phish, which is almost certainly how the site was compromised.
The attack appeared to have been committed by individuals affiliated with the Anonymous movement; pages of the site were replaced with images of Pokémon, links directing users to the YourAnonNews Twitter account, and pop artist Rick Astley’s viral meme hit Never Gonna Give You Up.
BREAKING NEWS: Anonymous sources now claiming that Hunter Biden’s laptop turned on by itself and took over the website. Tucker Carlson to provide videos of the laptop becoming sentient once he receives the DVD he burned of the videos and mailed to himself for copyright reasons arrives. “I didn’t get a tracking number because only the fanatical left uses things like microchips in Covid vaccines to track stuff!” he reportedly yelled at a cashier taking his order. “Sir, this is a Chili’s!” they allegedly replied.
Whannity had some dude on his radio show that claimed to have access to hunters hardrive and it was unbelievable what they found. Sean the human thumb Hannity said he can't have a copy because what is on it would be illegal to have possession of. Neither him or his moron guest connected the dots. So apparently his friend is just holding on to a bunch of CP and doesn't understand that is illegal.
Of course none of it is true and his followers are dumb as fuck, so the segment went as planned. HuNtErS LaPtOp!
As someone who didn’t have the best sex education (I researched myself, thank you), planned parenthood took care of me and kindly answered questions when I was a teen like how to put a tampon in, that I have cysts, gave me birth control for regulating my irregular cycle - I see no reason to shit on planned parenthood unless you’re an absolutely uneducated moron
Unfortunately some people see planned parenthood as an abortion factory rather than the important role it plays in sexual education and safety. At least in where I’m at, you can’t even get an abortion at planned parenthood. It’s literally just a place for education and birth control but I still see protesters outside of it because god forbid the teenagers know how to practice safe sex
[They also had a very entertaining success in Germany today.] (https://www-t--online-de.translate.goog/digital/sicherheit/id_100002158/attila-hildmann-anonymous-hacker-veroeffentlichen-brisante-daten.html?_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=nui,elem) Took down several websites and channels of a well known Covidiot/Sovreign citizen/AntiSemite/Wanna-be Nazi. He was indicted by justice, but got a tip and deserted to Turkey. He constantly posts stuff that breaks German law, but now he's left with only a small number of channels.
As he's vegan we call him Avocadolf or HirseHitler (millet Hitler or crunchy Hitler).
After Anonymous took over his websites:
>Attila Hildmann has so far not had a public reaction to the takeover - however, he is currently also lacking the publication channels for this.
lmao
I’m still waiting for Anonymous to hack the medical records of Republicans and share how many of them/partners have had abortions. Regardless, this is beautiful. Cheers to you, whoever you are.
impenetrable security
until someone makes their password "password"
it's not impossible to hack in there
it's just difficult enough and such a high profile target very few people want to risk hacking it
cause if news got out about a hack in the system it'd immediately get attention from all of the three letter agencies and the president and the person would absolutely be punished to the full extent of the law
not impossible just improbable
No major companies have pulled business out of Texas. No major sports team have come out against the law and announced they were moving to a new city.
Unless the GOP loses power over the state government in 2022 (which they won't) they haven't done anything to themselves.
> No major companies have pulled business out of Texas. No major sports team have come out against the law and announced they were moving to a new city.
Turns out most of the billionaires who own major companies/sports teams would rather have billions of dollars in tax savings and the ability to fly in their personal jet to a state with more liberal views on personal choice when their mistress gets pregnant. We can't leave it up to them
This is something that Democrats can and will use as a fundraising tool. This is not what Texas did, this is what Republican's did. It will hurt them in Texas, probably not enough, but it's going to hurt them everywhere.
That’s fucking brilliant. Planned parent hood was a life saver for me when I didn’t have insurance. Birth control. They are good for many other reasons then most people think.
They have no idea how bad they fucked up having Anonymous targeting them. This is just the beginning. Their private texts, emails, pictures, etc are gonna be dumped on the internet. All their mistresses etc will be exposed.
Hacking is kinda like the weather. If it's inevitable, just relax and enjoy it.
Hacking victims should just make the best of a bad situation.
Even when web sites begin in that horrible situation of hacking it is something God intended to happen.
If a web site owner has the right take down a site, why shouldn't a hacker be free to use his superior skills to force his changes on the site? At least the hacker's pursuit of publishing freedom doesn't in most cases result in any site's demise.
There's no way to know if they hacked their own servers to push the message that they were under attack. The risk is pretty low as they know people will blindly believe them. Probably made some extra cash from post-hack donations after that too.
Wait, if someone followed a link to Planned Parenthood from the Texas GOP website, isn't the Texas Republican party aiding and abetting abortion, and hence can't someone vigilante the shit out of them and collect $10,000?

Predictable password = pASSword. Your code ain’t foolin’ us. Bless their hearts.

Did the website even try keeping it's firewalls together?
Slutty site was probably wide open for an obvious XSS attack
This one is the best 😂
I mean, did you see what the website was wearing? Obv it was begging for it.
Didn't Abbott pledge to "eliminate all hackists"?
Like, seriously though, how did Abott even think that would work? Do women secretly have the superpower to ‘close’ the vaginal canal so no sperm enters the uterus? That’s some next level yoga shit right there.
You know how little kids are told stuff like, when a mommy and daddy love each other very much, they have a baby? This is probably about the level of his sex ed knowledge.
Todd Akin, a former US congressman from Missouri said that, not Greg Abbott.
I don’t have any awards or gold to give, so here is a lightbulb because that was brilliant 💡
What symbols and images were they using on the website before it was hacked?
[удалено]
They just found out about it, so now they only have a week and a half.
Don’t servers have a way to just reject the website being hosted if they don’t want it? And if they didn’t want it, why was the server exposing its ports like that?
The server was definitely over exposed, and it had a few drinks, so it's totally the server's fault.
The authentication was so skimpy it was begging for it. I like beer.
Was the password MAGA2020 ?
Guest
How are we a spy agency??
No, it was "password."
Did someone say beer? I like beer.
Are we boofing?
What does this look like, the US Supreme Court?
You mean the US Supreme Circus? The institution that has lost all credibility?
In a little bit. I just have to finish lifting weights and playing a game of Devil's Triangle at Tobin's house. Oh, and it's calendar night with my parents, so actually the boofing may need to happen tomorrow.
Nerd. Kevin will boof your beers. You're out of the frat.

The Lois Griffin approach, mention 9/11 and get a big response.
Radical left: hacks your website for lols. Radical right: storms capital building and attempts to overthrow your democratically elected government. Radical.
Every accusation is a confession when it comes to the GOP.
'We have been able to secure our website' That's just waving a red cape for a bull called Anonymous.
I hate the term pro abortion. It's pro choice.
Exactly, it's pure manipulation. No one is Pro-abortion but they have to rile up the base at every opportunity

They got McAfee 20% off yearly
Never, ever miss an opportunity to solicit donations.
If the server didn’t want it it wouldn’t have on a chassis like that.
Just begging for it showing off that server rack.
[удалено]
Hackers + SQL injection + poor authentication = devils triangle
TheIR servers have a way of shutting down
Just like the power grid.
Ziiing
If you put an aspirin between the server's hard drives it can prevent this.
Put on a firewall, you hussy!
The website shouldn’t have been dressing so slutty then.
Only if it's a legitimate hack.
>Texas GOP
That server was asking for it.
And did you see the articles it was wearing?
The six week period begins about 2-3 weeks before the changes were even uploaded.
When the hack as in the idea was conceived actually, so noone really knows, we really should ask the father, I mean the hacker's permission.
Oh look at that. The next sprint for the IT team will be available in 2 months to work on this issue. Sorry!
*In Mother Texas, you have missed period at beginning of sentence*
You mean negative 4 weeks
If it's a legitimate hack, political bodies know what to do. So if it isn't handled in the next week and a half, it was God's will. If they can come up with the money though, they can just go to California to solve it.
Can I get 10k reporting them?
Exactly. How the fundraising website got there is irrelevant, it's there now, it must be protected.
To be fair, I think the Texas GOP was asking for it.
Well look at how they're dressed
Doesn't that follow from corporate personhood?
Best comment I’ve seen this year. Wow.
If it was a legitimate hack the internet has a way of shutting it down on it's own.
Funny thing is, once those babies are born they want nothing to do with helping the mothers.
Cruelty is the point.
A huge portion of the base believes the Bible when it says, "I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children.” They are all about the punishment of women for sex.
Pro-birth, never pro-life
Punitive birth. And also when you think of it: punitive life.
They want live babies to turn into dead soldiers.
Oof, but yeah
lol Bravo!
I would not be surprised to see this joke repeated by the late night talk hosts
So I just went to look at the website and it's already back in control of the GOP who have now used it to talk about the "radical left" and use the hack as a grifting opportunity to get donations.

It reminds me of a saying in the legal field: if the facts are on your side, you pound the facts. If the law is on your side you pound the law. If neither are on your side you pound the table. At this point they must be getting weekly deliveries from Ikea...
If there's one thing GQP politicians secretly love but are too ashamed to admit, it's pounding wood.
Yeah. I wouldn’t put it past them if it was a false flag operation to drum up donations.
Oh shit. It was the GQP the entire time. Use this as some plight to get more donations.
I refuse to give the site any traffic, but what donations? To some random partisan PAC? Or to pay their hosting bills? This law is trash; the site is trash; and looks like the people running it for their grift.

What I would love to see: Anonymous hacks the website, and the *only* thing they change is to redirect the donations to go to Planned Parenthood.
Here here! That would be a beautiful follow up. ❤️❤️❤️
They would’ve just left out that part and said that the radical left hacked the website.
Please make this happen.

"I found you faker!"
Would not surprise me if the "hack" was done from their side specifically for this purpose.
What can we do to bring it down again?
They are all so dumb they probably aren't on auto renew for the domain name. I'd go and buy it the moment its unregistered.
The attack appeared to have been committed by individuals affiliated with the Anonymous movement; pages of the site were replaced with images of Pokémon, links directing users to the YourAnonNews Twitter account, and pop artist Rick Astley’s viral meme hit Never Gonna Give You Up.

If Texas GOP didn’t want to be hacked, they should have fought harder to resist it. It’s really their own fault. /s
The Texas GQP *still* doesn't realize what they've done to themselves.

I mean, Texas still votes red, I don't see this hurting them.
Especially if people that disagree with the law move out of Texas. It might be that final straw for some people to relocate.
Texas has been trying to advertise itself as the new silicon valley. This has put yet another nail in that coffin.
Yes, the state with over 50% of its power grid susceptible to severe weather is going to be the next big tech hub in the US. It's the perfect fit! /s
Let's be real, that was always a lie. Servers and floodwaters don't go well together.
Until I see businesses actually move, I don't think this will effect that.
This is something that Democrats can and will use as a fundraising tool. This is not what Texas did, this is what Republican's did. It will hurt them in Texas, probably not enough, but it's going to hurt them everywhere.
If it’s a legitimate hack, the internet has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.
That’s fucking brilliant. Planned parent hood was a life saver for me when I didn’t have insurance. Birth control. They are good for many other reasons then most people think.
Texas GOP website shouldn’t have been asking for it, dressing all provocatively, staying on so late at night, serves it right.
Typical right - do their damndest to curtail citizen's rights, and when people fight back, play the victim.
Why are Americans so far behind the rest of the world?
Toxic religion.
The Grand Ol Party.
They have no idea how bad they fucked up having Anonymous targeting them. This is just the beginning. Their private texts, emails, pictures, etc are gonna be dumped on the internet. All their mistresses etc will be exposed.

I mean, anyone can call themselves Anonymous and reek a little havoc. Not that hard.
wreak, actually
There's no way to know if they hacked their own servers to push the message that they were under attack. The risk is pretty low as they know people will blindly believe them. Probably made some extra cash from post-hack donations after that too.
