Pastebin.com reportedly hacked amid malvertising claims

Original: Pastebin.com is hacked Sept 29, 2026 I saw it, I swear I saw it with my own eyes!!! Hahaha. I promise im actually seriou

An internet user reports that Pastebin.com was hacked on September 29, 2026, claiming the site served what looked like malvertising when clicking a fix button, and says a friend tested the site to confirm. Details, including the screenshot mentioned, are limited, and no confirmation from Pastebin or security firms has been reported.

Why now: If a widely used code-sharing site is compromised, users want to know whether it is safe to visit.
