    I have an account on both this instance and over there. I hope they can recover since they had a lot of big communities

      It looks like they’re in the process. The compromised account was demoted from admin and I see posts are being removed. There will definitely need to be some sort of investigation into how this happened, though.

        My bet is either session token hijacking like how Linus Tech Tips got hacked a while ago, or a phishing attack, or a reused password that got breached.
