The self-styled furry hackers meanwhile have offered to remove the staff records if the lab performs experiments that at best could be described as highly irregular.

“We’re willing to make a deal with INL. If they research creating IRL catgirls we will take down this post,” the group said. The creation of real cat-human female hybrids is a frequently posted meme in certain corners of the internet, but it’s not the laboratory’s specialty.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The self-described “gay furry hackers” of SiegedSec are back: this time boasting they’ve broken into America’s biggest nuclear power lab’s computer systems and stolen records on thousands of employees.

    “On Monday, November 20, Idaho National Laboratory determined that it was the target of a cybersecurity data breach in a federally approved vendor system outside the lab that supports INL cloud Human Resources services,” spokesperson Lori McNamara told The Register today.

    East Idaho News reported it was able to confirm the authenticity of the leaked information with several INL employees, which SiegedSec earlier posted to its Telegram channel.

    The self-styled furry hackers meanwhile have offered to remove the staff records if the lab performs experiments that at best could be described as highly irregular.

    INL employs more than 6,100 people in and around Idaho Falls at its massive 890-square mile site, which houses the densest concentration of nuclear reactors in the world.

    In its previous network penetration of NATO the group attributed its actions to the military org’s “attacks on human rights,” adding that it’s also “fun to leak documents.”
