from the official statement from lemmy.world: "Update While we believe the admins accounts were what they were after, it could be that other users accounts were compromised. Your cookie could have been ‘stolen’ and the hacker could have had access to your account, creating posts and comments under your name, and accessing/changing your settings (which shows your e-mail)."

So yes, they very well could get my information, I dont think you know how shit works.

well that really ruins my trust with lemmy.world... hope data isnt in danger

Edit: I now know this was a general security issue with the entirety of lemmy… not just lemmy.world, my bad.
