We quietly defederated temporarily earlier because lemmy.world seemed to be compromised earlier in some way, but then it was fixed. Now it’s happened again. Unsure what is going on over there but there isn’t much use speculating. They have been dealing with weird redirects to shock sites like lemonparty (throwback). Whoever has compromised them seems to have some early 2010s internet sense of humor I guess.
Anyway, once they have things under control and an announcement is made we will refederate ASAP. For the time being, please avoid going to their homepage for the time being as we have no idea what the nature of the compromise of their site is and to what extent.
EDIT: seems lemmy.blahaj.zone just was as well. :(
Admin alt of one of the mods of Mildly Infuriating.
It may have something to do with this message I got:
If I could hazard a guess. Maybe a login token theft, so the hacker has access to an admins account or multiple.
It seems to have spread to lemmy.blahaj.zone. Will add them if more come :( This sucks man.
I was on blahaj and didn’t notice the redirects? What are you seeing or hearing?
