When logging into lemmy.world the banner now says "Israel - ni**a style" (full word unredacted) and it starts linking to lemon party and a bunch of other NSFW sites.

Yea. Looks like they are working on it:

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.

Mods account got compromised or went rogue?

[–] nosut 43 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Worse. Admin account. The MichelleG account is an admin and it appears that it was compromised and is what is causing all the problems. It looks like they have removed it from admin so things wont get worse but they will likely take a bit to find and repair all the stupid little changes that were made.

The sidebar was changed.

Obviously some javascript was installed to the frontpage that makes us redirect to lemon party (NSFW) ponographic site.

Logo on top of the screen has changed, anti-Israel has been plastered all over the place.

This is not inspiring confidence in their security. 2FA was off or was somehow circumvented.

[–] gkd 13 points 1 year ago

If a JWT token was stolen 2FA wouldn’t matter.

The tasteless redirect & site-title-change seems to have gone away. The admins have retaken the site, now just cleaning up the junior edgelord's mess.

Ain’t no party like a Liz lemon party

[–] ExtraMedicated 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

'cause a Liz Lemon party is mandatory!

(That was one of my favorite lines. Loved that show.)

[–] Slowy 9 points 1 year ago

Don’t forget β€œCan’t have a Lemon party without old Dick!” (Her dad) 🀣

[–] TheGreatFox 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Damn that's a nostalgia trip. Haven't seen lemon party in a long time. Early internet was full of links to it.

Reddit operatives are trying to sabotage Lemmy! That’s my conspiracy anyway.

Kind of annoying that someone can just brick the entire server like this. I keep getting redirected just trying to get to the main page

[–] varadin 11 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Apps are able to deal with it

The main page has a Javascript redirection or something. The hacked admin account must have added it. As soon as that loads, we get redirected.

[–] Sirobin 10 points 1 year ago

Also seeing this. Coooooool.

[–] dx1 7 points 1 year ago

Even an admin account should probably not be able to inject Javascript. Something a little sloppy going on there.

[–] JoelJ 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

yep sure looks like it, I got some image saying "just raped a kid in the woods"

[–] useralreadyexists 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I got a bunch of porn images popping up at one point 😬

At least we can still use mobile apps…

[–] monstad 3 points 1 year ago

Came here to report as well...

[–] Countmacula 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Looks like they changed the name to Israel lol

[–] Tylith 2 points 1 year ago

Yikes, at least it's not just me!

[–] Xylinna 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Admins are aware of the issue and are actively working on resolving.

[–] darrsil 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is there a post saying they are aware?

Good job on the cleanup.

I'm not seeing any issues anymore, at least from my end.
