it makes me genuinely so sad to see a nonprofit like ao3, built around preserving fanworks and protecting creative freedom from censorship, become a victim of the very profit-driven systems it exists outside of. years of people's work and creativity being held hostage for profit.

Eu, quando hackeio o ao3, roubo todas as fics, até as que já foram apagadas, crio um site novo feito por IA, posto tds essas fics, monetizo e começo a receber uma enxurrada de denúncias. Ent, peço pro chat escrever um texto vitimista, pedindo desculpas e que sou apenas uma teen

who is “they”. there is no “they” scheming to make people hate fic writers. y’all are so annoying you’re doing it yourself LMAO
MatthewPhantom retweeted
no, someone putting your fic in a google drive does not give ai the ability to access your drafts?? i know emotions are high but lets use our logic brains, gang. "ganesh" almost definitely got access to breached data. don't let them manipulate you.

We have a third: ficatlas dot com. Registered in August likely as a test run. Curiously each of these is from Cloudflare in some fashion but every single one has an IANA code.
AO3 Life: 3862
blk archive: 3827
ficatlas: 1910
I suppose the new to look into is.. IANA? Hmm..

Thank God that website is gone but don't cheer too fast.
While he sounds remorseful, remember he only took it down after AO3 themselves got involved. Sounds more like he got hit with legal trouble and is now trying to make up excuses for why he did this.
GUYS WAIT NVM. UPDATE‼️ AO3.LIFE HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN TAKEN DOWN and there's an apology attached. (I kinda feel bad now idk, seems like he was just a ill-informed kid 😭)

у мене є одна теорія. ао3 зараз на цілий місяць будуть ремонтувати бо сталася якась фігня, тому сайт недоступний
з учора з'явився цей ао3 лайф де роботи всіх авторів з ао3 викладені там, і там ші озвучка, ще й платно
дуже дивне співпадіння що сайт лягає, а потім це з'являється

I don’t believe this story at all…there is no possible way for one person to do this in 4 days by accessing Google drives. All of my podfics were on there. Like, the text version AO3 work that just listed the link on how to access the MP3’s. No one is saving a PDF/EPUB of that

estoy llorando de la risa yo cuando soy una IA que quiere fingir ser una persona real: hola me llamo ganesh de la india y soy menor de edad
La gente está reaccionando así a esto:
Dios, perdón por cagarles la vida 💔

I was talking to a friend that is learning about ciber security, and we both came to the same conclussion that this is probably a ransom hacking. They basicaly cloned the site, and has it hostage until the owners of the page pay to get it free (+)
Imagínate pensar que la persona que hizo todo este laburo malicioso y hackero te está diciendo la verdad cuando casi hace que arda Troya por todo este quilombo, estamos a nada de que AO3 no pueda volver
MatthewPhantom retweeted
Até que ponto o capitalismo chegou, hackearam o A03 pra vender as fanfics de lá eu tô em choque com esse babado
Omg. Así que al final malévolo cucarachon no era malo y no quería hacer enojar a los autores? Y encima no está afiliado con nadie para conseguir toda la información que consiguió de AO3? De dónde sacó borradores? De dónde sacó los orphans y asoció con los autores? Sus.

This domain was registered only one day ago. Doesn't mean they weren active under a different name before that but noone noticed it. The amount of stories being "kidnapped" speaks for a deep breach over a longer period. The server(s) seem to have been compromised.
