Oddbean new post about | logout
 Took an extended nap &woke up in a panic because my timeline  &all the accounts on my selfhosted instance posted like a 1000 spam posts an hour while I was asleep. I was hacked.

I rushed to the computer. It was just a dream and didn't happen.

Anyway, I changed all my passwords, including VPS, root, etc. for my selfhosted instance, disconnected any old API access applications I know I don't use anymore, like old Mastodon apps I used to use, Twitter to Mastodon followers finders, etc. #infosec
