dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1

if this is based on Mastodon, is this an older version or are there some genuine security concerns here that can affect other instances.

@zleap Hacked is a very strong word. The dude literally just typed in the standard signup link which had been removed from the main page... Its not hacking, its stupidity on the site maintainers part, nothing more.

@freemo Thought so, typical daily mail reporting shows how totally clueless they are with regard to technology. Poor reporting too.

@zleap yea very true, and often true of most mainstream media honestly.
