We know an issue occurred on the site over an hour ago with someone using my account to redirect the site, make fake posts, and change other settings. The problem has been corrected.

Opened incognito mode. lemmy.world is still issuing a redirect to: (https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/7aa772b7-9416-45d1-805b-36ec21be9f66.mp4)
Should I even click that link or is it a bad idea? I’m kinda curious since I haven’t seen any of what’s happening yet since I only use Memmy and it hasn’t been affected by this
I was concerned when I opened my browser and suddenly a few Lemmy tabs prompt me to download this same file multiple times… Saved it and placed the mp4 in a Vm, I need to sleep so I’ll pass a look over it when I wake.
There’s “Israel” under some unusual bloke with a cigar for the Lemmy world icon…
Edit: don’t seem to be having any current issues, looks like people are discussing on Reddit about the situation already. Good luck and stay safe whilst I’m asleep!

Its not the cache. The site is still under attack.
I think you are speaking with the hacker!
That’s the hacker you’re taking to btw
I newly joined and this started anew shortly after. It likely got readded.
This is the top left icon for me now, it wasn’t 15 mins ago.
Opened via incognito as I said. No cache stored. It appears the title of the site change back again. Are you sure you have full access of your account and no one else is on it?
It was fixed for me but it’s just started again.
Yea MichelleG’s account is likely still compromised.
100%, they’re even trolling this post lol
