The information obtained was limited to usernames, names, email addresses, and incomplete password information of both Heritage and non-Heritage content contributors, as well as article comments and the IP address of the commenter. No Heritage systems were breached at any time, and all Heritage databases and websites remain secure, including Project 2025. The data at issue has been taken down, and additional security steps have since been taken as a precaution.

So you're saying that there was no breach at heritage because... you gave away your users data to a contractor?

Yeah, what a cop out.

We weren't hacked, guys! It was just our data specifically that was hacked from the contractors we pay to protect it! That's totally different and better, right?
