The Lemmy.world hack made a good opportunity to explore other instances out there. Found one based in my area. Back in action!

ayy nice I made a few different accounts on my first day and have added a few since especially in case of crazy things like this happening😂

[–] Moohamin12@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same here.

I have one on Kbin too.

[–] Gamers_Mate@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

I have one on .world but I have stopped using it until they decide to defederate with meta. I also have a kbin social account. Which is also nice place to use if .ml goes down from the lemmy vulnerability.

When hack?

[–] Kezza596@feddit.uk 5 points 2 years ago

Currently, far as I know. Blahaj seems to have gone down too

Afaik, unless lemmy.ml had patched the vulnerability like the lemmy.world folks, the instance is susceptible to the vulnerability.

[–] AzuleBlade@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I almost made the rash, uninformed decision to close up shop on lemmy.world and move my community to another instance. Luckily I did some further reading, and yeah, unless whatever other instance I jumped ship to was also patched I would have just been wasting my time since this is a vulnerability in the Lemmy code and affects all instances until the admins apply a bandaid/the code is fixed.

What happened?

[–] Waluigi@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

On that note: does anybody know when or even if lemmy.world will be up again? Right now I'm using an alt account but I've got a main one and a community on .world and I couldn't really find any information on how it's going over there.

Also, are my Passwords at risk?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Probably not, but you should change it anyway. Use a password manager so none of your accounts have the same password.
