It was determined that 4chan hacked through a PDF file upload. The hacker uploaded a pdf file which contained malicious code, the server opened the file and executed the code.
The joke that I’ve seen people say about 4chan was “pedophiles hacked by a pdf file”. 4chan admins said they have disabled pdf uploads temporarily.
The hacker leaked the whole website source code. I figure they have at the very least made a new server install and run updates. It’s been 10 days since it went down.
Anyone could read the website leaked php to look for new exploits if they are still using the same code base.
Wonder if they bothered to update their code to prevent another attack or if they’re just gonna try and ride it out
