The JWT are likely a hot issue, already some Issues on GitHub about them not being revoked properly.
Oh man, that would be brutal if they are resetting the password and it isn't kicking the attacker out...
That's probably what happened here because they did revoke the admin's access, but it continued.
JWT issue opened 4 days ago: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3499
The issue does say changing the password should kick the user out, but yeah, still not good.
This issue from 2 weeks ago was the one I was thinking of, it's worse: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3364
Oh man this one is SO much worse. If this is what is going on the only way to kick out the hacker will probably be to manually alter the DB. Yikes.
I hope the admin team is aware of this - not sure how one would even contact them.
