At a minimum they had some hacked web UI mayhem going on along with at least 1 admin account compromised…now they are in an at least partially down state. Might be worth alerting the Powers That Be to see if they want to offer assistance and if any measures should be taken to protect servers federated with it.

    I deleted my .world account yesterday. Sorry if it’s a stupid question, but do I have to do anything about that? If so, what?

        I got that much, but I don’t understand anything else. JavaScript injection? Is someone going to steal my deleted account or is that not possible?

          From what I’ve read, links were redirecting to “shock” websites. It’s more of an old-internet Rick roll, but with gore type content instead of a silly music video. I don’t think we have to worry about data, but we’ll learn more in the next hour(s).

              On another post they showed it was stealing browser cookies, so your login information for any site you’re logged into could be compromised. Definitely not a prank
