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.

idk, im surprised it took this long. there's a huge variety of admin teams with varying degrees of security awareness and it's been over a month since the first big influx of users started. it'll happen again too and probably not before too long

I didn't want to say it, because I wanted to believe :(

In the 3 years Hexbear has been around it has been attacked A LOT because obviously far right chuds have an interest in messing with leftists but has not to my knowledge had an admin breach. At one point image embeds were completely disabled because they were handing over data they shouldn't though and risked exposing people to doxxing.
