The website 4chan has faced many challenges throughout its existence. Users abandoned the platform during various scandals, and advertisers pulled their money when controversies erupted. Critics accused the anonymous message board of nurturing harmful speech that possibly influenced mass shootings. The site experienced significant public backlash from these incidents.
People used 4chan as a meeting place to organize hacking attacks like distributed denial-of-service operations. Conspiracy theories spread across the platform's forums, reportedly motivating some participants in the January 6 Capitol riot. The website continued operating despite these serious allegations. Its latest challenge came earlier this week.
The platform experienced several outages on Monday night into Tuesday. Users noticed problems accessing the site, and technical difficulties made the service unavailable. These interruptions sparked rumors about a possible security breach. Many speculated that hackers had successfully attacked the controversial website.
