Mod post! Virus warning
First...I'm sorry I haven't made any icon posts. :| I haven't really been in the zone for it, but I'll try to make -something- soon.
Secondly, apparently there's some sort of virus being spread around through journaling sites such as Livejournal. Basically, someone hacks into a community, specifically those with open membership, and makes a post saying that the community is going to close. They place links into the post, which when clicked on install software on your computer which can give hackers access to passwords and personal information.
Now, obviously I'm crossing my fingers and am hoping that no one will do that to this community or any of my others that I run (or am a member of), but I want to say right now that I am NOT closing jedigraphics! If you by some chance see a post here (or really, anywhere in the communities you're a member of) claiming that the community is closing, DO NOT click on any links in the post! You can report the post to LJ Support by clicking the red flag icon or the flag link, depending on which viewing option you use. It's also a good idea to hover your cursor over any links you're thinking about clicking, just to make sure they redirect to the place you're actually hoping to go.
I haven't actually HEARD of this actually happening to anyone, so I don't know if it's just a rumor or anything, but I figured it was better to be safe than sorry.
Again, jedigraphics is NOT closing, and if it ever does it will not be because of anything other than, say, my sudden lack of creativity in icon making or losing Photoshop or who knows what else. Although honestly, I still don't see myself closing the community, so it's pretty safe.
(To give credit where it's due: I basically reiterated a post that was made to swicontest by senatorsfan_ink and used the same information they gave about the virus.)
