Basically someone found an exploit in Imgur that let them upload an image injected with a payload that contains some code/other files. What did they do with this exploit? Used it to open tons of other images from both 4chan and/or 8chan when the user views the hacked images and posted it on said sites, thus creating a DDoS attack. Pretty neat stuff.
