Hello people.

If you happen to receive comments like:

:bulletred: Hey. this person wrote something about you in their blog, CLICK HERE.

:bulletred: hey! check this out! I just saw who my Secret VALENTINE WAS !! it really works.. see who your VALENTINE is just CLICK HERE

:bulletred: hey i thouight this iQ quiz was cool. i just took mine!!

:bulletred: Hey. check out this funny blog! LOL CLICK HERE.


Please do not click those link. DO NOT CLICK IT. It will take you to a fake dA log in page which will steal your log in details if entered. --then the hacker will start spamming the same message to those you watched.

These messages are mostly sent on frontpage, but it could be a deviation comment, too.




What you can do:

:bulletgreen: If you receive a comment like this,MARK IT AS SPAM by using the "Mark as spam button" on the comment bar. This will alert moderators to it and will also hide the comment --so others won't be caught out.

:bulletgreen: if you accidentally clicked on it, make sure you change your password ASAP, and mark the comment as spam! It would be wise to scan your computer for any viruses as well.

:bulletgreen: If you are not sure you are "infected" or not, check your recent activities so you can take action asap.

:bulletgreen: You can always check if the link is genuine by checking the status bar on your browser. Mouse over the link and you'll be able to see which page it will lead you to.



Please tell you friends about it!
The less infected, the better! I guess.
