#44chan is controversial and often very ugly, but it is one of the few old school message boards that allows free speech left.
Like the ACLU used to do, we should help them stay online and exercising their free speech, even if it is annoying and gross.

Given the language in this announcement that lays blame at everyone else's feet except the people responsible for maintaining the platform, I'm pretty sure that no lessons were learned, and that the security is not likely to improve beyond whatever bandaids that were needed to address this hack.

I agree. It is interesting how much they focus the hardware servers in the article.
I'd be more interested knowing which package was vulnerable?, was it a known exploit?, and what systems were/are in place to alert on vulnerable dependencies?. Instead they are focused on the new servers just taking too long and not enough money because of advertiser pressures.
