The "Baja Blast Heist," also known as "Operation Soda Steal," was a early memetic internet event from 2008 where a GameFAQs user, EpitaphILIP, with the help of other forum users, engineered a contraption to secretly siphon large amounts of the then-TacoBell-exclusive Mountain Dew Baja Blast from a soda fountain. The plan involved a modified cup and a hidden container in a backpack to bypass the drink's exclusivity, to allow the user to enjoy the drink at home, during a time when this was impossible. He just had to stand at the fountain for fifteen minutes, slowly collecting Baja Blast without creating suspicion. Thankfully, he successfully executed the heist and posted video and photographic documentation online, which you see here, along with "scientific schematics."

Earlier today, hacker group "shinyhunters" claimed they stole about 275 million canvas user records from nearly 8,800 schools, then posted a "pay or leak" demand on the homepage at 1:20 p.m. during finals week for many universities and high schools.

Newly named victims reportedly include Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge, and other major universities and tech companies around the world.

With the ransom deadline set for may 12, reports say at least 47 million students could have their information exposed if negotiations fail.
