Updated A 4chan user has leaked 270 GB of internal New York Times data, including what is said to be source code and other web assets, via the infamous image board.
The New York Times source code leak on 4chan raises major cybersecurity concerns
According to the unnamed netizen, the information includes "essentially all source code belonging to The New York Time Company," amounting to roughly 5,000 archives and 3.6 million files now available for download from peer-to-peer networks. Details on how to obtain the files were shared by the poster on 4chan.
While The Register has seen what is said to be a list of files in the alleged leak, we have yet to verify the leak's legitimacy, and the newspaper did not respond to inquiries about the case.
Of the files listed – whose names indicate everything from blueprints for Wordle to email marketing campaigns and advertising reports – "fewer than 30" repositories are "encrypted", 4channel said.
