When logging into lemmy.world the banner now says “Israel - ni**a style” (full word unredacted) and it starts linking to lemon party and a bunch of other NSFW sites.
Reddit operatives are trying to sabotage Lemmy! That’s my conspiracy anyway.
Yea. Looks like they are working on it:
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.
Worse. Admin account. The MichelleG account is an admin and it appears that it was compromised and is what is causing all the problems. It looks like they have removed it from admin so things wont get worse but they will likely take a bit to find and repair all the stupid little changes that were made.
The sidebar was changed.
Obviously some javascript was installed to the frontpage that makes us redirect to lemon party (NSFW) ponographic site.
Logo on top of the screen has changed, anti-Israel has been plastered all over the place.
Even an admin account should probably not be able to inject Javascript. Something a little sloppy going on there.
Kind of annoying that someone can just brick the entire server like this. I keep getting redirected just trying to get to the main page
still having this problem, at least we are aware that this could happen down the road as an early warning
