PSA: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ACCESS LEMMY.WORLD, THERE MIGHT BE MALWARE

Lemmy.world member here. I created this account after .world started redirecting me to porn sites and odd mp3 files. We might want to defederate to limit the potential impact. Also, SJW might be affected by the same vulnerabilities as .world, so maybe the admins here should look at that.

Edit: ~~Situation seems to have stabilized. Some site icons aren't loading, but otherwise everything seems stable.~~ Read Edit2

Edit2: ~~HOLY SHIT ITS BACK~~ Read Edit3

Edit3: ~~lemmy.world is now down as of 10:56 PM CST (USA)~~ Read Edit4

Edit4: lemmy.world is now up, but serving an error as of 11:03 CST (USA) See a screenshot of this error. I also got logged out, hopefully it doesn't mean they just wiped the databases lol.

Edit5: Edit4 still applies, but I can now access lemmy.world via Memmy on my phone. Wefwef (Voyager now) does not work, however. Timestamp: 11:34 PM CST (USA)

Edit6: lemmy.world restored. Compromised admin account said something in a weird post. I'm going to bed now, my brain is play-dough rn. Will update you guys tomorrow morning.

Definitely need to bleach my eyes after that 'attack'... saw it unfold and unfortunately saw too much.
