 A vulnerability in their PDF thumbnailer that they didnt update since 2014 let some guy break into their server.

4chan is an anonymous imageboard that has been running since 2003. It is seen as the pioneer of English speaking imageboards, and a significant entity in [[2000s]] internet culture.

Contributing many LOLs back in [[TEH OLDE]], 4chan has more recently come under fire for slowly moving further and further away from it's weeb culture roots, leading progressively more people to leave the site and try to recreate the enviroment of the early 2000s imageboard culture.

This is how many [[Altchan]]s are born, (and subsequentially die after a while), creating their own subculture for their communities. Some examples of which can be found at Heyuri's own [https://heyuri.net/index.php?p=links| Links] page.
