PSA: Yet another fanfic copyspam mirror website (with unconfirmed malware warning)
If you have an fanfiction.net account, chances are that everything you have posted there has been copy-spam mirrored onto
http://www.talkfictions.com <--- currently down now, one day later
and
http://www.thebuystock.org <-- STILL UP AND OPERATING
(obviously, do not use your username/password to attempt to log in ... it is possible these sites are serving malware although that is unconfirmed)
An informative link regarding the matter:

...
Feeling low-level annoyance with yet another instance of the major fanfic repositories getting scraped and mirrored. Remember when this happened to AO3 a year ago?
Feeling even more committed to only updating my DW fanfic repository from now on even if that means shoving my fic in a place where most readers will fail to find it.
