You must log in or register to comment.
Out of precaution we will defederate from lemmy.world until this is resolved.
Edit: Lemmy.world has resolved the issue

Thank you for the heads up that it’s fixed.
Although requiring 2FA, for all admins on your instance seems appropriate.
To my knowledge we all have 2FA enabled. Will confirm.
I appreciate the proactivity/precaution!
It’s unresolved.
It is once again comprised
Have they resolved it? I can’t comment there, or is that from this instance defederating from them? I don’t have my lemmy.world account on this app
We believe they have resolved it but we will remain defederated overnight.
And this is why you use a password manager whenever you make new accounts on the internet.
If you had an account on the Lemmy.world website you need to change your password.
It’s still compromised, right now it’s showing text that says site seized by reddit for copyright infringement. Lol. Jerboa is just showing Lemmy World heads
*infringment
Lemonparty! Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in ages 🍋🍋🍋👴
The page redirects is named Israel and it redirects to blank page with “This site was seized by Reddit for copyright infringement”. So no, they don’t have control yet.
I am glad I’m on programming.dev for lemmy, but this could’ve happened to anyone. Hope nothing catastrophic happens
First vlemmy now this? what the fuck is going on?
this feels too intentional with two big servers in this short time frame icl
Reddit gotta do what Reddit gotta do to keep their IPO alive
Looks like it’s gonna be a bit really put a lid on this, but I guess another sign why this is a good system?
I was about to make a thread. Quite the bummer.
I logged on and was like wtf because the site still works. Thought my phone was hacked heh
Thanks for the heads-up. Password changed.
Yeah… I caught all that. Glad to see that they fixed it already though. Rough day for Rudd.
Is there a way to not do email verification but still using 2FA? That way, even if a user’s account is somehow phished/compromised, it won’t compromise their other accounts.
I just successfully set up 2FA for an account on another instance that doesn’t have a verified email without any issues, so there’s no need to have done email verification to use 2FA.
Absolutely you can do no phone/email and MFA. It’s a TOTP thing like Google or Microsoft authenticator. The service doing the authentication has no idea how it’s done on the other side, it just makes sure the codes match.
Man, after all that commenting and stuff I did… :(
Bummer.
