Maybe, maybe not. They probably would’ve been hacked regardless, things went downhill quick. The hackers weren’t ever identified, and it’s unlikely they had the capability to do that.

Wasn’t exactly my workplace, but a contractor. Basically, as a cost saving measure, they layed off half of the IT department. And then they got hacked. They just re-flashed everything, and the threat was out of their system, but they messed up big time. The new images weren’t locked down properly, so they almost immediately got hacked again. I noticed that they’d messed up, and pointed it out to a few people, but it was too late.

Now the execs need a scapegoat, so they gut the IT department again. I don’t work for them, not even close to the business relationship, but their managers call me to a meeting room and try to get me in trouble? Try to make me admit to doing something wrong? And it was just their admin people there, not like my heads or anything. It was kind of a surreal experience.

This was a while ago, and their tech is still a bit funky. (Some details are lightly fuzzed, but this all is basically true)

Oh darn, it seems the website isn’t up anymore. It was, to my knowledge, never archived and never properly indexed by a search engine. I have no screenshots, so it’s basically lost media. All this to say it’s unlikely anyone here has heard of it.

Well, it was an IWW split called the “International Workers of the World” (it seemed to be composed of at most 3 people). If my notes are right it was internationalworkersoftheworld.org (seems even DNS is completely dead now). Their webpage was simple HTML, from the dates it hadn’t been updated in years, and most of the body was complaining about IWW internal politics, and people who had long moved on from the union.

Did Lemmy always have it so sites can be embedded?
