SiegedSec, short for Sieged Security and commonly self-described as the "Gay Furry Hackers",[1][2] was a black-hat Cyberterrorist[3] group,[4][5][2] that was formed in early 2022, that committed a number of high profile cyber attacks, including attacks on NATO,[4][5][6] Idaho National Laboratory,[1][2] and Real America's Voice.[7][8] On July 10, 2024, after attacking The Heritage Foundation, the group announced that they would be disbanding in an effort to avoid closer scrutiny.[9]
