What is going on when I go the home page? (self.asklemmy)

This is what I see when I go to the main page.

Sometimes the page automatically redirects to a picture saying "I r@$*d a kid", and other times it redirects to a malicious page (blocked by the rules of my adblocker).

What is happening?

Lemmy.world admin account got compromised, and some trolling was installed

[–] MigratingtoLemmy 2 points 1 year ago

Oof. Glad the others admins are working on it

Aw, you didn't get lemonparty? That was a little nostalgic... lol

Sidebar pic is still a super old school meme too.

Impressive that they pulled it back so quickly. I bet they are in a frantic panic for opsec

Indeed, I wonder how the admins credentials got leaked.

One of the mod's accounts was breached. Just some trolls hired by /u/spez (not actually) to take out the fediverse. Should be fixed pretty soon. I am no longer being redirected when I go there.

Same, glad I was not being redirected anymore.
