FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites.

Maybe the admin got hacked?

edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked. beehaw.org is also down, possibly intentionally by their admins until the issue is fixed.

Looked like the admin u/MichelleG over there got hacked. That account posted a couple stickied posts and then all the css and links started changing on the site.

You would think an admin account would have 2fa enabled (unless the hack was due to a security issue in lemmy itself, but it doesn't seem to be the case).

Lemmy.world front page is back up, but I am now logged-out

Seems fine now

[-] AndrewZabar@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

It’s fine now.

I decided to check it and it tells me that 'The site has been seized by Reddit for copyright infringement'.

Oof. Oh well, at least they’re getting recognized I guess.
