4chan explains why it went down for almost two weeks.
After posting to its blog for the first time in 8 years on Friday, 4chan published a new post explaining what took the site down on April 14th, as Engadget spotted. The social media site blames hackers uploading a “bogus PDF” that “exploited an out-of-date software package on one of 4chan’s servers.”
It’s back, but not all the way — as of this writing, images and the ability to post still haven’t returned.
