    Out of precaution we will defederate from lemmy.world until this is resolved.

    Edit: Lemmy.world has resolved the issue

      This seems unnecessary. The other Admins already removed the offending account as an admin.

      Although requiring 2FA, for all admins on your instance seems appropriate. 

      Edit: The instance is completely down after they briefly reinstated the compromised Admin’s account.

      Please disregard my earlier comment. It’s a clown-show over there at lemmy.world right now.

        To my knowledge we all have 2FA enabled. Will confirm.

      Have they resolved it? I can’t comment there, or is that from this instance defederating from them? I don’t have my lemmy.world account on this app

        We believe they have resolved it but we will remain defederated overnight.

    And this is why you use a password manager whenever you make new accounts on the internet.

    If you had an account on the Lemmy.world website you need to change your password.

    It’s still compromised, right now it’s showing text that says site seized by reddit for copyright infringement. Lol. Jerboa is just showing Lemmy World heads

    The page redirects is named Israel and it redirects to blank page with “This site was seized by Reddit for copyright infringement”. So no, they don’t have control yet.

    I am glad I’m on programming.dev for lemmy, but this could’ve happened to anyone. Hope nothing catastrophic happens

    Looks like it’s gonna be a bit really put a lid on this, but I guess another sign why this is a good system?

    Yeah… I caught all that. Glad to see that they fixed it already though. Rough day for Rudd.

    Is there a way to not do email verification but still using 2FA? That way, even if a user’s account is somehow phished/compromised, it won’t compromise their other accounts.

      I just successfully set up 2FA for an account on another instance that doesn’t have a verified email without any issues, so there’s no need to have done email verification to use 2FA.

      Absolutely you can do no phone/email and MFA. It’s a TOTP thing like Google or Microsoft authenticator. The service doing the authentication has no idea how it’s done on the other side, it just makes sure the codes match.
