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.

Deeply unfortunate that something like this could happen, you always hope that code injection vulnerabilities are found before someone is hacked. With that in mind, this shows the importance of two security principles: always parse and clean user input and don't click links (including images) before checking where they are going to send you.

This used an onLoad which isn't generally shown when you hover over a link in a browser. Most people, even devs, aren't going to jump on the console to check every link.

NoScript would probably have helped though.

What kind of terrible markdown editor allows adding onload scripts to images though.. it's insane.

Also doesn't help when using mobile and there's no hover over

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can usually click and hold on mobile and an popup will appear showing the link (I think) - or you can click and hold and copy the link and paste it somewhere to see where it's going to go.

You can, yes, but it's not the sort of thing most do before taping. The hover-over is passive.

Yeah good luck.
