Thank you. A message will be posted soon in the Android community. Good catch to make sure everyone is informed.
Pretty much. The hacker sent me a DM with the emoji which contained the malicious code. All I did was open and read it. I’m proud of the team that worked until 2 AM to not only revert the changes, but fix the exploit.
Apologies. I didn’t realize that was occurring.

Hello everyone. This is Michelle, one of the Lemmy.world Admins/Moderators.
I want to let you know that if you are reporting a post/comment from a community moderator, please message me and let me know your concern. Especially if it relates to the violation of server rules for hate speech, racism, threats, or calls to violence.
If it’s a Lemmy.world community, they can resolve the report before we have a chance to see it. So please let me know if no action is being taken.
If the community is on another instance, we can see the reports you submit. We can ban and remove the posts/comments from our side.
We have zero tolerance for homophobia, racism, hate speech, bullying, child pornography, and many others that are listed under our server rules.
The moderation tools we currently have are not very robust, but I hope this helps clarify what can be done to escalate issues.
Actually, we’ve never been federated with Hexbear. It was blocked before they started federating with other instances.
