A person (or group of people) has taken it upon himself/herself to mount an attack on DA

The attack comes in the form of links which appear on Deviant's pages and provides them with a link.... this link takes you to a fake DA login page. DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT enter your login and password here! If you do the attacker then has access to your deviant account.

So far the attack has been quite civil and thus only a minor annoyance, simply spamming other deviants.... but with access to a seemingly large number of deviants' accounts so far if it escalates there could be some serious damage done.


The links take the following forms (that I have seen so far)...

A Valentine for you... link

I saw your picture on someone's blog... link


So please be careful with your account info and if you've already been 'hacked' be sure to change your password right away to avoid any major issues!

i saw one of these on a page and clicked it -- only it wasnt in this format -- it was saying it was a feature i think - but i didnt enter my pass because the page looked different than the normal DA page

They showed up on my page as messages from people on my watchlist (friends) flagging the message as spam is flagging the watcher (friend) as the spammer. Just hide the comment so it can't be read.

Technically its spam :shrug: Plus only one was from someone I was watching and who was watching me. The others might have been watching me. I don't think it really matters as the admins know what's going on.
