A hacker from the soyjak.party hacked into the 4chan backend and reopened the /qa/ board before taking down the SSL server blocking all posting sitewide, they're still running around like headless chickens because Hiroyuki doesn't know he owns this site anymore. The hack revealed that the site was running on a horribly outdated version of PHP and FreeBSD that reached end of life in 2016.
The hacker released full logs of the hidden /j/ board going back to 2006 and 4chan's forum software that can be downloaded below

The community has dubbed this man "Captain Gem" and has confirmed what we all know, even the fact that the site is still down almost 12 hours later is proof nobody is running that site. You can read the full thread on Sharty /soy/
