Several major Lemmy instances were hacked due to an XSS vulnerability. There's a path forward for mitigation, but here's what happened.

Done!
Bedankt!
Luckily it was resolved quickly.
I guess it’s true; the Fediverse is bringing people back to an earlier time of the internet!

Not sure why Lemmy.world is to blame for this - we had the same vulnerability - everyone did. I shut down Beehaw because we had the vulnerability.

It’s like Lemmy s01e01 and we already have federation war?
It’s not much of a war. Beehaw is just waiting for better mod tools before refederating.
Beehaw.org was at war with Lemmy.world. Beehaw.org had always been at war with Lemmy.world.
There’s a war? Why did no one tell me?
It was said during the Two Minutes of Hate. The Brotherhood shall be sending a visitor to pay you a visit soon.
