The Idaho National Laboratory (INL), one of the biggest nuclear labs in the US, has been hacked by the group Sieged Security (stylised SiegeSec). The hackers are self-proclaimed "gay furry hackers," and are threatening to release employee data unless the lab meets their, uh, demands: "We're willing to make a deal with INL," SiegedSec wrote in their announcement of the breach. "If they research creating irl catgirls we will take down this post [with a link to the leak]."
According to SiegedSec, the hacktivist group has accessed thousands of records of user and employee data held by INL. This includes people's full names, birthdays, email and home addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, employment information, and "lots lots more."
"On Monday, Nov. 20, Idaho National Laboratory determined that it was the target of a cybersecurity data breach in a federally approved vendor system outside the lab that supports INL cloud Human Resources services," INL said in a statement to Engadget. "INL has taken immediate action to protect employee data."
"Many people ask 'why?' for the INL breach," SiegedSec wrote on Twitter. "We are cats, intricacies such as 'why' do not concern us."
