First time user of firefish. Kind of like the UI. “Global” section is kind of chaotic. Guess that’s just the fediverse for ya

I quickly looked through the #news tag, not seeing this. I guess those bots were active at the time?

Based. Thanks for sharing these PRs. Will look over them.

Only in read only mode.

I just want to add a quick note:

From OPs screenshot, I noticed the JS code is attempting to extract the session cookie from the users that click on the link. If it’s successful, it attempts to exfiltrate to some server otherwise sends an empty value.

You can see the attacker/spammer obscures the url of the server using JS api as well.

May be how lemmy.world attackers have had access for a lengthy period of time. Attackers have been hijacking sessions of admins. The one compromised user opened up the flood gates.

Not a sec engineer, so maybe someone else can chime in.

Lemmy.world instance under attack right now. It was previously redirecting to 🍋 🎉 and the title and side bar changed to antisemitic trash.

They supposedly attributed it to a hacked admin account and was corrected. But the instance is still showing as defaced and now the page just shows it was “seized by reddit”.

Seems like there is much more going on right now and the attackers have much more than a single admin account.

Should consider donating directly to Jeff as opposed to buying it through leanpub
