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

Maybe the admin got hacked?

edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked.

It appears that the deface attack is back in full swing (racial slurs and all the redirects)

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).

Time to make an alt! Been thinking about switching instances anyway, so this is a nice test. Hope the situation gets resolved soon.

I really hope they have backups in place.
