Are we impacted?

    We’re all being hacked the moment we signed up for this instance. The owner is a notorious hacker wanted by the FBI, CIA, KGB, Sesame Street, and Megatron. Imagine using an Ubuntu server for an Arch instance! The nerve!

    Jk.

    I hope not, tbh. I do hope instance owners and admins have a Matrix/Discord group where they can communicate in real time with each other. I haven’t seen any of the comments that allegedly contain the exploit locally. Hopefully the ones in charge update us. :)

      We do communicate privately, don’t worry. Been a busy day at work for me till now so I only seen whats going on exactly now (there were just some reports of lemmy.world being hacked when I woke up this morning and nothing more). I just sent the server owner a link as to how to resolve the situation so hopefully its all resolved soon.

        Thank you. We do appreciate the stuff you guys do behind the scenes. But I have no life so I’m often on lemmy and might see stuff you guys might miss. 😂

          Yea, for me it depends a lot on the day how much time I spend here. Some days hours some days 0, so I might miss some stuff but hopefully the other 2 catch them or someone reports it to us.

          Sören (he is the one that actually owns it) just replied to me, so should be sorted very soon. I guess one of us will update once its done (or you might notice the server going down for a restart).

            The site is only vulnerable if you used custom emoji’s for this instance of lemmy. Otherwise you can ignore this.

        That was my first reaction, too. That’s an upside to being a small instance. Can’t let our guard down, though.
