Notorious image board 4chan hacked and internal data leaked

Notorious internet forum 4chan was hacked on Tuesday. 

At the time of writing, 4chan’s website was not loading, and users on social media reported the site being intermittently down for hours. 

Messages on a rival message board, which TechCrunch has seen, celebrated the hack, with one person claiming that the hacker responsible for the breach was inside 4chan’s system “for over a year.”
