More time will definitely be needed. I’m glad they caught it and acted quickly enough to prevent more vandalism from occurring, but until we know how the account was compromised and what else they may have gotten in the process, it’s still a situation to keep an eye on.
It looks like they’re in the process. The compromised account was demoted from admin and I see posts are being removed. There will definitely need to be some sort of investigation into how this happened, though.
One of the admin accounts appears to have been compromised. The owner/other admins appear to be aware now because that account had its admin access revoked and offending posts are being removed.
Definitely opens up a big question about the security of Lemmy instances that I am sure will be discussed over the next few days.
One of their admins (MichelleG) began posting messages about federation with only Threads. The site is redirecting users to Lemonparty (now there’s a throwback). Site information has been vandalized with racist slurs.
Yep, it’s definitely not over.
