Looks like a dude named ornicar leaked lichess' source code. Just saw his GitHub profile... this is what it says

Maker of lichess.org, a hippie communist chess server for drug fueled atheists.

Stole all credits from thibault.

(lol jk lichess is open source and thibault is ornicar)

You will see soon, Mantram. Don't laugh right now.

I'd like to ease your mind and the minds of anybody else who's concerned about this. The joke is that Lichess is already open source, which means that they deliberately publish the site's code in order to encourage contributions from developers that might improve the site. The source code has therefore been publicly available since Lichess was started. Publishing this on April 1st is a way to advertise that fact whilst making an April Fools joke about pretend 'hackers'. There is no risk to anyone's account security.

Quote: "ornicar” who appears to be the leader of the group has publicized the code here

Look on thibault's live stream, his username on twirch is Ornicarw. Could he have publicised the code?

This "ornicar" described himself as a dictator. Need more proof that he is an alt of Vladimir Putin?
