Are we under attack?
(lemmy.world)
Nice community you have here, would be a shame if something happened to it.
Hey! You're not welcome here! Git. Shoo. Go on now!
The website is now redirecting to porn, it looks like a XSS injection.
Lemmy in general or just world?
just .world, it's a JavaScript redirection though so that means Lemmy in general has an XSS vulnerability and this will happen on other instances too if an admin account gets compromised
It also will auto link you to lemonparty.
Yeah on web it says Israel - N**ga style. I was not expecting that at all.
I really really hope my credentials aren’t compromised now.
Edit: I recommend logging out on the website if you’re logged in, just in case they messed with the JavaScript files to harvest login tokens/cookies/etc.
An ~~moderator~~ admin account MichelleG posted a few strange things that have since been removed. One was titled "We've whitelisted Threads.net" and all the post said was "go cry." They may have been hacked or their account was compromised.
It would take more than a mod to do this. Maybe an admin was compromised though.
That's a good point. I'm quite certain the account was MichelleG.
Admin account was compromised. Looks like they are working on it but it will take a bit to fix all the stupid that was done.
EDIT: Looks like things are starting to resolve.
EDIT 2: MichelleG account admin was restored and she posted and update but shortly after the changes happened again. Her account is likely still compromised with someone else accessing things via it.
EDIT 3: lemmy.world back online. MichelleG has again been removed as admin. Most things appear to have been cleaned up. Blocked instances still need to be fixed however.
It really wouldn't hurt to have admins in different timezones as right now this hack could have been much worse, imagine everything gets deleted and the site redirects to CP, the reputation gets immediately destroyed.
The hackers however knew what they were doing, they seem to know Lemmy well enough and it's curious that they targeted lemmy.world despite it being popular only among people already a bit familiar with Lemmy and the Fediverse. Other people would usually look at join-lemmy and lemmy.ml first.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
