The Idaho National Laboratory (INL), one of the biggest nuclear labs in the US with thousands of employees, has been hacked by the group Sieged Security (stylised SiegeSec). The hackers are self-proclaimed "gay furry hackers" who have posted a sample of the data obtained online, and are threatening to release huge amounts of employee data unless the lab makes a peculiar deal: "We're willing to make a deal with INL," says SiegeSec alongside the post, "if they research creating IRL catgirls we will take down this post."
That is a reference to a long-running meme about furries wanting to create a race of sexy human-mutant cats and, yes, none of those words are in the Bible. The data breach consists of employee addresses, Social Security numbers, birthdates, numbers, and "lots lots more!" The East Idaho News reported it contacted some of the employees in the initial leak, and verified that the information was accurate (thanks, The Register).
