Furries Hack Heritage Foundation: Vile Chat Logs Between Mike Howell and Hacker Go Viral

In an unexpected turn of events, the Heritage Foundation has found itself at the center of controversy after being hacked by furries. The incident, which has been making waves on social media, was highlighted by a tweet from the user KITTY★DISK (@kittydisks). The tweet, posted seven hours ago, read: "furries hacked the heritage foundation (propelling project 2025) which caused the executive director to reach out and the chat logs are VILE."

The screenshot accompanying the tweet features a series of exchanges between Mike Howell, Executive Director of the Heritage Foundation, and a hacker identified as vio. The conversation quickly escalated into an exchange of derogatory remarks and threats.

Mike Howell initiated the chat by asking, "Would you like to meet virtually or send an emissary to meet in person?" Vio responded by expressing a desire to be left alone without rights being threatened. The conversation took a darker turn when Howell replied, "Are you aware that you won't be able to wear a furry tiger costume when you're getting pounded in the a** in the federal prison I put you in next year?"

Vio, unfazed by the threat, responded with, "such unprofessional language from an executive director, would you mind if i shared this? :3" Howell's retort was equally vile, "Please share widely. I hope the word spreads as fast as the STDs do in your degenerate furry community."

The Twitter community has been quick to react, with comments ranging from outrage to amusement. One user commented, "Who had 'Furries fight fascism by hacking and heckling Heritage's Howell' on their 2024 Dystopia Bingo card?" Another user questioned the authenticity of the hack, stating, "Not to be that guy, but can we verify the chat is legit? Regardless if you agree with the hacker or disagree with the think tank, this is very easily fakeable."

Others expressed their disdain for Howell's behavior. One user remarked, "He's a horrible person," while another sarcastically noted, "Oh yeah, I bet he takes it well." Some comments took a humorous approach, with one user saying, "Starting a tech war with furries is probably up there with starting a land war in Asia."

The Heritage Foundation has yet to issue an official statement addressing the hack and the leaked chat logs. However, some users have pointed out that the Foundation's claim of no real hack taking place and that the "leak" was info left unprotected on a "public-facing website" could mean no crime was committed and no legal action could be taken against those who accessed the information.

This incident raises significant questions about cybersecurity, the boundaries of privacy, and the implications of unprofessional conduct in high-stakes environments. As the story continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the Heritage Foundation will respond to the backlash and what steps will be taken to address the vulnerabilities exposed by this hack.
