Lol did someone figure out a way to insert data into uploaded images that fucked up the image hoster or does the hoster just not handle corrupted jpgs well.
Basically someone was trying to create a 750 megapixel image of a North Korean soldier to upload to the website and it got corrupted during the creation. They uploaded it to the site anyway to see what would happen. It crashed the site and they made a post about it. In the post later, they made a public comment with the download link to the source image (now removed). Bad actors probably downloaded it and spammed the site with it. They most likely figured out very little.

Oof. Handling corrupted files is a giant pain in the ass for any program.
Doesn't help that someone posted a download link to said image in a public comment
