So The Broomstick Farms are happy that 4Chan got murdered by the Sharty hackers. Surprise Surprise Anonymous wasn't the ones who hacked 4Chan. Somewhere in that thread they will mention GamerGate or some bullshit.
I'm pretty sure 4chan is talking to the feds right now and are likely collecting evidence. 4chan will most likely come back online and give out an announcement in regards to this, probably in a few days from now.

So what lessons can be learned from this?

It seems those Sharty hackers aren't the sharpest tools in the shed because if you are going to commit a crime like doing a data breach, under no circumstances should you openly admit to any crimes on the Internet publicly (especially if you want to keep your freedom because the hills have eyes, the feds are always watching for people that proudly self-snitch on themselves). In this case the Sharty hackers, they were posting soyjak memes and openly saying "Total Sharty Victory!" like they do with a lot of their victims. This is not really a smart move, especially since they committed a data breach on a major online community. Those hackers are smart enough to exploit a vulnerability but the hackers in question were stupid enough to show their affiliation with the Sharty. Since the culprits were posting Sharty memes, they self-snitched on themselves should a federal investigation come from this because we no longer have to guess who the culprits are (this is how the feds busted the people that were part of infamous cybercrime groups like Lizard Squad and LulzSec because some of the participants in those communities talked too much online).

If you are going to commit cybercrime, avoid self-snitching on yourself (shut the fuck up and the feds will have a much harder time finding you should you choose to commit online crime).

4chan is also at fault for not doing a good job at keeping their shit secure. It seems 4chan hasn't updated their back end since 2016 so had they done so then 4chan would've taken advantage of cybersecurity patches to prevent or at least mitigate an attack like this. Nobody likes updating their electronics because it's inconvenient and sometimes a pain in the ass but taking some of your time to update your shit is going to be worth avoiding a headache of doing damage control in the future in the event of a cyberattack. Updates are annoying but they are there for a reason, it's to have you be better prepared to fare against attacks like this.

The Sharty got their lulz but their victory may be short-lived because I'm pretty sure 4chan is talking to the glowies about this incident. 4chan should learn from this and next time don't neglect their cybersecuirty in the future.

Furthermore, if you are going to commit a crime online, keep your mouth shut because the term "We do a little trolling" is not a legal defense in a criminal court of law.

Exactly! 4Chan will definitely have better security but if any hackers wanna fuck with them. They would have to be more quiet than ever. People gonna snitch.

While this has been devastating for the 4chan staff, I'm sure they will come back online eventually. I don't think Hiro is going to give up on 4chan and the staff while doxed will use this as a hard lesson to beef up their OPSEC and cybersecurity from this point on.

However, I'm sure the Sharty may likely become part of a federal probe when this blows over where I'm sure the glowies will add the Sharty to their list of websites to be put on some government watchlist.

If you remember the story of Raid Forums (a former black hat hacking forum), they were pretty much the Sharty before the Sharty where they used to harass Twitch streamers and dox people for the fun of it but that got boring for them and they wanted bigger kicks where they then they started to become criminal hackers by hacking big time corporations, stealing crypto wallets, and hacking high profile individuals and that community kept on going with their illegal hacking until the FBI seized the website and its founder Diogo Santos Coelho (aka 'Omnipotent') was arrested and he currently faces extradition to the United States for his involvement and founding of Raid Forums.

I'm sure 4chan is now talking to the feds and turning over whatever they got to the FBI, I'm sure the FBI and other relevant three letter agencies are now going to look into the Sharty in the very near future; this is a game that the Sharty community are simply far less likely to win where the only winning rule is to pull out and close up shop before the search and seizure warrants are signed by a federal judge.

I know for a fact that the Sharty relies on American infrastructure for their hosting so they are bound by American law and in this case the hackers being bold by publicly admitting hacking 4chan and releasing sensitive data to the public for malicious reasons is a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986; while doxing is still a legal gray area, black hat hacking is totally illegal in America where saying you did it for the lulz is not a legal defense in court.

So if we see in the near future that the Sharty gets a "This Domain Has Been Seized' banner on their front end then we will know why.
 
While 4chan is not at prevalent as they used to be (they peaked in the 2010's and haven't been the same since), the Sharty still committed a serious felony.

They can get away with doxing because that is still in a legal gray area in America (although some Democrat and Republican leaning states have since made doxing a crime within their own states in the past few years) but data breaches are still a federal offense (five years to twenty years to life in prison depending on how severe the data breach was).

4chan may not be the same as it was before but there is a huge difference between trolling and breaking the law.
