Not sure if this is against the rules or not

The IPs of all janitors and admins have been leaked

4chan's entire tech stack is built of outdated and insecure myPHP

Not sure where the source code is from but I think it's the forum that did all of this in the first place

Wouldn’t the hackers be able to release more info about the infamous “Q”? Like IP address or something?

Qanon was a tripcode poster on /pol/, and a successor to the less famous FBIanon which was probably the same person.

The whole Qanon phenomenon is really fascinating because the actual Qanon poster stopped posting in like, 2018, but because boomers on Facebook don't know how anything works they'd just keep circulating that "Qanon said such and such" to each other on Facebook. It stopped being anything said by a specific poster on 4chan and started to just become this strange ethereal concept.

No, 8Chan was the Gamergate nonsense. 4chan is where Q started.

It depends how far back the records go. As far as I know there hasn't been an actual Qanon post in approximately 7 years.
