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.

Ah, crap...
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.
