Security issues across other Lemmy instances
  • Quote from r/lemmy

    Lemmy.world has clearly been compromised in some way. I’m able to go to lemmy.world, but the heading has changed, it says “Israel” and there’s some other choice language. I can click a link or two, then it reloads as a chaturbate video or video of a blowjob and a trio of senior gentlemen “getting jiggy.”

    Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas about what’s going on? Is this some kind of retaliation over the whole Threads thing?


    This issue appears to have been resolved. It seems the mod account MichelleG was hacked or compromised and some mischief in the form of XXS injection/Javascript redirection and whatever else has been perpetrated.

    Latest mod log entry shows the compromised mod account has been removed and the lemmy.world instance seems to be back and as it should be.

    Edit: oh, well as of one minute ago, it appears Lemmy is compromised again.

    Edit 2: Lemmy.world is down, presumably as admins continue to work toward resolving the issue for good. Could be some time differences/admins with different permissions or technical knowledge being asleep to consider as well.

    Edit 3: it’s 1AM EST, and Lemmy.World is working for me.

  • How many instances has everyone signed up to?

    lemmy.ml (stopped using cuz they refused to provide banned word list, while being suspeced to be banning posts about chinese genocide and stuff, posts claiming that those events did not happen were not filtered)

    lemmy.world (still using, general purpose)

    feddit.uk (for ultra low latency cuz i live in london)
