Google Clouds uninterruptible power supply UPS equipment malfunctioned, causing a sixhour outage in Columbus, Ohios useast5c zone. A loss of utility power started the disturbance, which led to a cascading failure in the UPS, which depends on batteries to fill the void between generator activation and power outage. More than 20 cloud services, including BigQuery, Cloud SQL, and Cloud VPN, were unavailable due to a severe battery failure that stopped the UPS from operating. Although engineers were able to bypass the failed UPS and use generators to restore power, the full recovery was delayed because several services needed manual intervention.

4chan Hacked Moderator Identities and Internal Data Allegedly Leaked

Attackers allegedly obtained access to the backend infrastructure of the online message board 4chan, exposing internal data and moderator identities.

Attackers allegedly obtained access to the backend infrastructure of the online message board 4chan, exposing internal data and moderator identities. It was discovered that a part of the website that had been inactive had abruptly reactivated, displaying the message "U GOT HACKED".

The site has had sporadic outages, and the admins have not yet verified the complete scope of the compromise. There are worries about privacy hazards because some reports suggest that the personal information of users and moderators may have been compromised. The occurrence feeds conjecture about possible longterm effects by drawing attention to the dangers of unauthorised system access and the increasing weaknesses in internet platforms. Read More..
