The 2024 Fur Affinity Hack refers to a significant security breach that occurred in August 2024, targeting one of the internet's largest furry art repositories. During the incident, unauthorized actors gained access to administrator accounts, leading to the site being defaced and users being redirected to malicious third-party websites. The community reacted with a mixture of legitimate concern over data privacy and the inevitable wave of 'coping' memes. These memes typically highlight the irony of a massive niche site being compromised, the panic on social media platforms like X and Bluesky, and the long period of maintenance that followed as the staff worked to secure the database.
