I would be cautious about viewing any Lemmy.world communities right now, and the Beehaw admins should make sure their credentials are locked down in case they get targeted next.

    That’s the problem, they don’t. If you have them stored anywhere on the device you view the communities with, your credentials are not safe.

    Edit: this was for someone else.

    Anything can be transferred without your knowledge. Do not access hacked servers while expecting privacy.

      That would require your device to get hacked, not just the server.

      As for privacy… there is really little of that on Lemmy or the fediverse as a whole.
