I would be cautious about viewing any Lemmy.world communities right now, and the Beehaw admins should make sure their credentials are locked down in case they get targeted next.

They changed root folder / frontpage, if you access lemmy.world from web browser you'll be redirected somewhere

However, you still can access lemmy.world through applications

This is what I was wondering. It sounds like their frontpage is defaced but the underlying server is untouched. So if you login via an app you should still reach the server as normal?

Apparently Lemmy has XSS vulnerability, and attackers used it

lemmy.world is experiencing issues at the moment, not accessible from the app either

And lemmy.blahaj.zone is also affected
