Lemmy.world Site Redirects and More Removed (self.lemmyworld)

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.

We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you informed.

They got in again. Site image is different than before (earlier hack it was trump, now it's that image of the woods guy), sidebar image is also the woods guy now (idr what it was earlier in the hack but something else), and instead of redirecting to lemon party, it now says "Site has been seized by Reddit for copyright infringment". Also they spelled infringement wrong.

Still happens in incognito mode and with cleared cache, or even a different browser. This is server side.
