If that picture doesn’t sum all the FurAffinity hijacking that went on from late August 20th to the 21st, then I’ll explain it.
FurAffinity got hacked by an individual(whose handles keep changing, so no official identity as of yet) who did this for a reason that was bound to fail: To scam people into purchasing a cryptocurrency literally no one cares about. This also went onto FurAffinity’s official Twitter/X account(which has been reclaimed since), in order to shill his cryptocurrency.
The hacker hijacked their DNS(Domain name System) to redirect those who clicked fA’s links to redirect them to a number of websites(its most recent being Kiwifarms) as part of a major cryptocurrency purchasing scam.
The moderators of Kiwifarms has confirmed that they had ZERO involvement in this hijacking, so now this crypto-scammer is going to get their just desserts and pay lots of bills. Need I also add that this person accidentally revealed their name/address and got themselves doxxed in the process?
Look me in my four eyes and tell me that the motivations behind all this are NOT stupid and petty. It’s bad enough that crypto’s already at a downturn, but this is just ridiculous!
this isn’t shooting yourself in the foot this is launching an atomic bomb at your foot
