Is it a problem for everyone or just me? I’m getting a weird gif and the site name has been changed to left corner but the address is still the same. I do not know enough about computers or the federverse to know what is happening, I’m old enough that I came from a time when everything got hacked all the time and am just assuming it’s been hacked or my account has been hacked or is the server owner having a breakdown, making a joke, or what? Because I feel like I’m missing something just because I left the house today and didn’t check on Lemmy for a while.
From what I gather the database itself wasn’t compromised beyond this single admin user. They were able to make a post that everyone who viewed it was redirected to another website with some kind of exploit of the markdown language.
Not good, but it seems like they could have done worse.
