Mods account got compromised or went rogue?
Worse. Admin account. The MichelleG account is an admin and it appears that it was compromised and is what is causing all the problems. It looks like they have removed it from admin so things wont get worse but they will likely take a bit to find and repair all the stupid little changes that were made.
The sidebar was changed.
Obviously some javascript was installed to the frontpage that makes us redirect to lemon party (NSFW) ponographic site.
Logo on top of the screen has changed, anti-Israel has been plastered all over the place.
This is not inspiring confidence in their security. 2FA was off or was somehow circumvented.
If a JWT token was stolen 2FA wouldnโt matter.
Encountered that too. Would it be recommended to change passwords and logins though?
We'll see what they say but never a bad idea. Hopefully logins are encrypted and salted but I don't use this username or password anywhere else.
That's the ideal situation. It's been restored and I'm yet to see anything related to 'login credentials being compromised' or an advice to change them but as you said, it's not a bad idea. Safety first
The tasteless redirect & site-title-change seems to have gone away. The admins have retaken the site, now just cleaning up the junior edgelord's mess.
