lemmy.world is a victim of an XSS attack right now and the hacker simply injected a JavaScript redirection into the sidebar.
It appears the Lemmy backend does not escape HTML in the main sidebar. Not sure if this is also true for community sidebars.
Worst case scenario, they can steal your Lemmy session, right?
Which isn't super bad for a service like Lemmy. This isn't a social network, so most contact list scams would be useless.
Edit: just read the targets were admins. That IS bad.
Lemmy isn't a social network? Seems to be one to me.
I mean, not in the traditional sense. You don't have your family and friends as Lemmy contacts and share posts with them. It's more anonymous.
