Resolved: Journal exploit concerns

Journal Entry: Wed Jun 15, 2011, 10:28 AM
Update:  The exploit has been fixed and all journals posted by the exploit have been deleted, except for the ones manually edited by deviants.  Deviants who want a more technical explanation of what all occurred should read the following #dt blog:

Recent Journal Exploits
By $sgrahamUK

------

We're aware that there's a current exploit spreading through deviantART in the form of user journals containing random, inappropriate messages and sometimes a link to the exploit itself.  Following the link (and accepting the "Outgoing Link" page) results in similar content being posted to the currently logged in users' journals.

We are actively working on a permanent fix and have already put in temporary measures to prevent any further spreading.

If you have been affected by this, or know someone who has, please let us know by commenting on this journal so things can be fixed.

Thank you for your vigilance!  :dalove:

Purely by accident, just today, I ran across a journal entry posted by someone referring to themselves as "hacker 302" which was rather threatening, promising to hack anyone who did not repost the entry in their own journal and even listing users hacked.

I'm not sure if its just my laptop so i asked others but when I click on a deviation I can't always view it. I'm not sure if its due to the few bugs DA has been giving me no matter how addicting it is or like I said if its just my scripts and such. I'm sure I updated mine but it started happening when DA did another update or something.

K. I use to press Ctrl+F5 to reload the page like I haven't visited it before (if it still works like that), but it doesn't solve it.. maybe sometimes, I don't remember...
