... that NATO was once targeted by a group of "gay furry hackers"?

Source: https://www.theregister.com/2023/10/04/nato_data_attack/

Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/McVey Fire

Moved to mainspace by B3251 (talk) and PixyPoxxy (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 18 past nominations.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing:
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
Other problems: - Personally, I'd format the "Notable attacks" section as prose, rather than as a bulleted list. As it is, the article has just over 1,500 prose characters, so this isn't a requirement, just a suggestion.

Hook eligibility:

Cited:
Interesting:
Other problems: - Although it is technically correct that NATO has been targeted by "gay furry hackers" in the past, the wording "has been" might mislead people into thinking that the hacking is currently ongoing. I'd suggest something along the lines of "... that NATO was once targeted by a group of "gay furry hackers"?".

QPQ: Done.

Overall: @B3251 and PixyPoxxy: Nice work on this article. I had a few comments above, but otherwise there don't seem to be any other issues with this nomination. Epicgenius (talk) 18:18, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Epicgenius: Thanks for the review. I've changed the hook. B3251_(talk) 18:39, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me. Epicgenius (talk) 18:42, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Information about data leaked?

Seems relevant and notable to the article. Could use expansion. Likeanechointheforest (talk) 21:12, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming you're talking about the Heritage Foundation attack, no reliable source at this time has published specific info on the leaked data. If and when an outlet does, it will be added ASAP. CitrusHemlock 04:59, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
