FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites.

Maybe the admin got hacked?


edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked. beehaw.org is also down, possibly intentionally by their admins until the issue is fixed.

Looked like the admin u/MichelleG over there got hacked. That account posted a couple stickied posts and then all the css and links started changing on the site.

You would think an admin account would have 2fa enabled (unless the hack was due to a security issue in lemmy itself, but it doesn't seem to be the case).

Just clicked into Lenny.world and saw “site has been seized by Reddit for copyright infringement “

Yikes, hope they can find and disclose whatever they used to compromise an admin account.

I really hope they have backups in place.

Ah, crap...

[–] zerbey@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago

Oof. Oh well, at least they’re getting recognized I guess.

From the title I was expecting it to be compromised by meta. Not actually hacked.

It’s fine now.
