GENERAL WARNING: Hackers on L_J

Mar 09, 2009 12:08

Hey guys, I wasn't very active here for some time and I'm thankful for the lovlely work angel_negra did. *sends hugs and kisses*

I'm posting now, because of a very disturbing trend some of you might have heard of?
It seems that some jackasses have hacked live journal communities and deleted all their posts.
The hackers have targeted large communities and their administrators and moderators. They deleted content and put up an announcement that the community will close down. That post has several links in it that all lead to fake sites which will download spyware onto your computer. So if you ever see such a post on any community please don't click on the links.

Now we're not that big of a comunity, but I wanted to warn you about it just in case you haven't heard, yet.

For more information what this post looks like: http://community.livejournal.com/mintyapple/353701.html

and what you can do to protect your journal:

Please, be careful people.
