The website icon has changed, name changed to Israel, and the site title now includes a slur.

Anyone, if you know anything, please let the rest of us know.

edit: Most things seem to be okay now.

Edit 2: we are under attack again.

    Admin account was compromised. Looks like they are working on it but it will take a bit to fix all the stupid that was done.

    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.

    Nice community you have here, would be a shame if something happened to it.

    An moderator admin account MichelleG posted a few strange things that have since been removed. One was titled “We’ve whitelisted Threads.net” and all the post said was “go cry.” They may have been hacked or their account was compromised.

    I think so. Going through an app avoids it, but on web it’s doing the same thing. Also with the lemon party redirect. I thought I was hallucinating, or something.

      Yeah so far the apps have no issues doing regular Lemmy things. Going to the website itself actually led me to a pretty distasteful snapchat screenshot.

    I really really hope my credentials aren’t compromised now.

    Edit: I recommend logging out on the website if you’re logged in, just in case they messed with the JavaScript files to harvest login tokens/cookies/etc.

      Never use the same credential in multiple places.

      If you always do that, then an account like this won’t matter if it’s compromised.

        I never use the same exact password twice, but let’s say there’s a pattern involved. The only way someone could figure out my passwords is if they compromise my account on multiple websites, get the passwords in clear text, and figure out the overarching pattern.

          I think password requirements have probably made this true for most people. You can show mathematically that requiring numbers and a lowercase and uppercase and so forth is actually less protection than having a longer password. If I had a lowercase 20 character password, it would be way more powerful than a 10 character password with a variety of characters – at least when it comes to brute force attempts.

          (Let’s say there’s 10 special characters, so you get 26+26+10 = 62 possible characters per slot. For a 10 character password, there’s 62^10 possibilities, approx 8.4E17. All you’ve got for the lowercase password is 26 possible characters per slot for 20 total characters, or 26^20 possibilities. That’s approx 2E28 possibilities.)

          Or, everyone’s password should be “password.” Hackers will be too busy compromising an endless stream of accounts to use any of them. Checkmate.
