lemmy.world is a victim of an XSS attack right now and the hacker simply injected a JavaScript redirection into the sidebar.
It appears the Lemmy backend does not escape HTML in the main sidebar. Not sure if this is also true for community sidebars.
Introduce minimum password complexity if there’s a config option for it and force admins to reset passwords.
There’s no minimum complexity but I’ve enforced 2FA for all admins. One admin that did not respond has been temporarily removed precautionarily.
thanks for your hard work, even though i am sure you’re tired as hell. i think that person’s idea about a minimum complexity requirement in addition to 2FA is a good idea, perhaps something like a complex password generator like LastPass or something, anything.
We can put it in place as a internal policy. I’m 99% confident all admins on Lemmy.ca are using complex password generators, that are hopefully not LastPass with their history of being hacked 😅
Edit: yeah I’m tired. It’s like 3 hours post bed time. I’m supposed to be at work in just over 5 hours.
