SiegedSec Hacks Heritage Foundation; Leaks Data Over “Project 2025”

Hacktivist group SiegedSec claims it breached the Heritage Foundation on July 2 and leaked more than 2 GB (asserting access to ~200 GB) of data—including emails, usernames, passwords, and documents related to ‘Project 2025’—released publicly on July 9; the group framed the operation as part of an OpTransRights campaign and announced its retirement, while the Heritage Foundation denies a breach. The leaked material reportedly contains records dating back to 2007 and includes contacts linked to The Daily Signal and some US government email addresses, creating potential political and operational risk if the files are authentic.
