4chan Allegedly Hacked: Source Code, Emails, and Moderator Info Possibly Leaked

Chaos hit 4chan early Tuesday as users flooded social media with claims of a massive hack—one that allegedly exposed source code, moderator credentials, emails, and even private databases. Screenshots circulating online show access to admin tools and board stats, while users claim the attack restored the long-banned /QA/ board. As of now, 4chan has not issued an official statement, and the authenticity of the leak remains unverified.

Posts on X (formerly Twitter) point fingers at a group known as "sharty," allegedly tied to Soyjak.party, accusing them of exploiting outdated PHP code in a revenge campaign. Some believe the hack is retaliation for a 2021 board ban, though no concrete evidence has surfaced. While the full extent of the breach is still unclear, what’s certain is that 4chan, already no stranger to controversy, may be facing one of its biggest digital upheavals yet.
