GitLab ArchLinux was hacked?

Hi folks, it's my first post here and I came only to report (I don't know if this is the correct place or forum) this site it's like hacked:
redacted.
I was searching torrents (lol) and indirectly google have recommended me that site and when I read ArchLinux I said maybe anyone don't see that yet.

Again, I don't know if it's the right place, I'm just trying to do my good deed for the day, since I'm a manjaro user and I belong to the community there and it seemed right to give notice of this problem.

Thanks!

Thank you for the report.  I have elevated the issue and, to prevent abuse, redacted your link.

Re: GitLab ArchLinux was hacked?

The situation is even worse - Arch people should be ready to deal with the mass spam issue creation. Just  look at the gitlab-org/cli - over 500 spam issues per day. And this has been going on for several weeks already, had to turn off project  watching.
