So, I was checking the updates from my watchlist, and I saw this little "copy this text to your journal" thing on 's journal regarding some malicious links going around on DA; it's the second time I've seen someone say something about it, and I figured I might as well help out with the effort to spread awareness of it, and such. I only have 2 watchers, so it's not like me making this is going to have a huge impact, but nothing would ever get done if I used that rationalization on everything.

But I'm still lazy, so here's a quote from the journal in question.

"vV Copy and paste this to your journal. Vv

DA Oddness abounds. If someone (especially a friend) comments on one of your Deviations (pictures) with a link that says "rofl this may be relevant to your interests" DO NOT CLICK ON IT! It will send you to a fake webpage that does not load, but somehow uses your account to quite randomly send the same comment link to other Deviations (pictures) that you never even visited. This of course makes the system think you're spamming and refuses to let you comment further and It can also apparently mess with your computer. Again, DO NOT CLICK THAT LINK!

MAKE A JOURNAL REPOSTING THIS STATEMENT! SPREAD THE WORD!

Be warned of the mentioned comment or others. In fact, if anyone links you to something and you're unsure of what the heck it is, ask the person first to know what they're sending to you. If they don't reply in a while it's most likely spam/hack. Don't click any link unless the person clears up what it is about."
