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.
still having this problem, at least we are aware that this could happen down the road as an early warning
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.
Mods account got compromised or went rogue?
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.
This is not inspiring confidence in their security. 2FA was off or was somehow circumvented.
If a JWT token was stolen 2FA wouldn’t matter.
Surely 2FA must have been off for that to happen, if so that doesn’t inspire confidence…
Personally I don’t use 2fa even though I want to. I use bitwarden for everything and I have no way to set up 2fa inside bitwarden. I can set it up through authy but prefer not to.

Narrator voiceover: In today’s lesson @ExcursionInversion learns that the world is not the USA and vice versa.
What’s the price in RMB and do they take payment by WeChat Wallet or Alipay?
Oh, what’s that? You don’t know what any of that even is?
Perhaps you’re not in a position to say “come on” then. Given that the site doesn’t even have i18n for the overwhelming majority of world languages, I’m pretty confident in guessing they don’t support a whole lot of payment options accessible to the bulk of the world as well.
In case you are actually interested. https://bitwarden.com/help/billing-faqs/#q-what-payment-options-do-you-accept-for-customers-outside-the-united-states
So they don’t accept payment in RMB over AliPay or Wechat is what you’re saying?
What. A. Surprise.
Credit cards are incredibly unpopular here: I’ve literally not seen one in use that wasn’t by a tourist in a tourist-oriented shop in 20 years. “Debit card” is so vague it’s almost charming. Paypal isn’t easily available as an option in most of the world. (I, for example, to use Paypal, would have to jump through incredibly time-consuming and expensive hoops to use its ‘letter of credit’ option.) I don’t know what “ACH” is, but I can pretty much guarantee that I can’t pay from my bank account given the currency export restrictions, etc. etc. etc. etc.
So again: today’s lesson was “the world is not the USA and vice versa”.
Yes. You seeing this
Damn, I can’t tell if edgy teenager or someone more malicious posing as one
Reddit operatives are trying to sabotage Lemmy! That’s my conspiracy anyway.
Lol. A wild one
Correct. I do not believe it.
I kinda would believe meta doing it, tho. Only in purely conspiracy theorist levels, but it kinda is a possibility…
