Controversial website 4Chan.com finally returned to business on Saturday, 10 days after it was hacked, which leaked the personal information of several former managers. In a statement released by the site's operator, hackers accessed 4Chan's browser on April 14 from an IP address in the UK.
They confirmed that the site was hacked because the infrastructure had not been updated for a long time due to financial constraints. The 10-day period was needed to restore the site because the outdated browser needed to be replaced with newer hardware. The operating system and code have also been updated to the latest versions to prevent a similar incident from happening again.
At this time, PDF file uploads have been blocked because they were used by hackers to access the browser. The /f/ - Flash forum will also be closed indefinitely because there is no way to patch the SWF file security vulnerability.
