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.

    Some information I have posted to Lemmy.World:

    I am not a super code-literate person so bare with me on this… But. Still please becareful. There appears to be a vulnerability.

    Users are posting images like the following:

    https://imgur.com/a/RS4iAeI

    And inside hidden is JavaScript code that when executed can take cookie information and send it to a URL address.

    Among other things. At this time if you see an image please click the icon circled before clicking the link. DO NOT CLICK THE IMAGE. If you see anything suspicious, please report it immediately. It is better a false report than a missed one.

    I have seen multiple posts by these people during the attack. It is most certainly related to JS.
