Fair warning:
Do NOT update passwords until advised by FR admins that the site is back to normal.
After seeing the raft of posts, I believe that the server was either mirrored or hijacked.
I just now recalled that about an hour or so ago my screen header said 'sign in'. I hit refresh a couple of times and didn't pay any attention to it.
I now believe that those who signed in exposed their accounts.

Dang it! I always sign out as a safety precaution in case someone turns on my computer.

Yep.
Going offline now.
Regrettably, someone’s going to have a very long night.

I hadn’t thought of that.
Maybe they can’t shut the site down remotely due to a hack..

“After seeing the raft of posts...”
After seeing a raft of posts about what topic?? Did you delete/clear your browser cookies? That will result in a “log in” display.
“45.79.56.181” is the correct IP for FR...go directly to teh IP if you suspect “DNS spoofing”.

I think this pertains to unsolicited sign on. Like it is a mirror.

Only the hacked can see it. Nothing to worry about if you can’t.

It looks like all the spam from a hacker has been removed. It was wild!

Almost never log out? Even if I don’t manually log out, I will from time to time delete all of my cookies which requires logging into each account again and using 2nd step verification where set up.

Good info. It has worked in the past.
FReepers, bookmark that IP. FR is still showing secure.

I wonder how it could be a mirror if you access via https?
I would expect your browser to issue a warning of some kind if you were trying to log in via a mirror site.

I was just going offline and noticed that too.
They might be getting control of it, but I’m surprised the site didn’t go offline (yet) OR that we haven’t seen an Admin post.
