DA HACK GOING 'ROUND

Wed Jan 28, 2009, 12:06 AM
in case you havent heard about it yet.
and uhrm... im too tired to type so ill just copypaste kaylink's journal here:

"Okay apparently there is a virus/hackign thing going around da. If you see a comment by me (or anyone) with a link that reads "rofl this may be relevant to your interests" DO NOT CLICK IT. The people's accounts who post them did not really, just look at my activity, it says I posted like 100 comments in two seconds. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly is going on because now I cant make normal comments as well.

UPDATE:

The, well, lets call it the rofl spam, is not a virus. It's an XXS (cross-site-scripting) attack. Basically because DA has very simple/low-security coding, the virus is very likely to spread by anyone who clicks it, unless you have specialized internet security programs. Since it appears that at least one DA admin has also been hit by this, it's unlikely those who are victims will suffer any banning/freezing of their accounts. The warnings are spreading like mad so hopefully this will die down eventually. Again, my apologies to anyone who I spread this too.

Please make a note to tell your friends about this or post a warning in your journal! The more we educate people, the less crap like this happens!"
