    So there’s no risks for regular users if they get hacked? Asking for learning purposes.

      Depends on the exploit really, but if they have admin access they have access to the info in your profile, so probably know your email address. I don’t know enough about the backend infra to be sure, but I doubt Lemmy stores passwords in plain text in DBs, etc. and although they have admin access, they probably don’t have access to the DB (again, a bit unfamiliar with all possibilities, but typically the DB is on a separate container/host/service independant of the frontend).

      Does anyone have a link for details on the hack/exploit?
