Part 5/8:
In late December 2019, the forum users decided to engage in a more collective form of communication, creating a Discord server known as The N Cast. Here, they shared tips, tricks, and revelled in their accomplishments. During one such call, a user, known as "Chance," showcased his ability to access security camera feeds via hacked Ring accounts.
This act brought widespread attention to the forum and, momentarily, panic gripped its users. Many feared imminent law enforcement action as news of the hack made headlines. Consequently, Chance deleted the server, hoping to sidestep fallout.
However, instead of withering due to this media blow, the forum saw an increase in traffic. Many who had left returned, refreshed by curiosity amid the rising interest.
