Leader of Furry Hackers Raided by Feds Months After Attack on Creators of Project 2025, Former Member Claims

The leader of SiegedSec, a disbanded group of self-stylized "gay furry hackers," was raided this week, months after attacking the creators of Project 2025.

"I regret to inform you that vio's location was raided earlier today," @mewmrrpmeow, a former SiegedSec member, shared in an X post on Wednesday. "She is no longer accessible, contactable, or reliable. I'm available to address any inquiries you may have."

Independent journalist Ryan Fae later reiterated the update about the group's leader's whereabouts, adding that a Signal account connected with vio was no longer accepting messages, the Daily Dot reported.

SiegedSec demobilized in July 2024 after publishing data related to The Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank behind Project 2025. The hacker group published usernames, IP addresses and personal email addresses belonging to users that interacted with the Daily Signal, the think tank's media outlet which its website describes as offering conservative news, commentary and analysis.

Although President Donald Trump has previously denied knowing about Project 2025, his cabinet is filled with leaders who were instrumental in its development, including Russ Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, Border Czar Tom Homan and Brendan Carr, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) chair.

The FBI declined to comment to the Daily Dot about the alleged raid.
