Alright....WTF?!



Is deviantART's search feature broken?...


Is anyone else having problems browsing category's through "Most Popular" and it bringing up basically scribbles of things that shouldn't be there?

And in some cases, some of the categories being empty? I've logged into dA on several browsers, and on both my laptops the problem remains, so I'm assured its not corrupt cookies or something similar.


So, anyone else?

Hi,




Alright watchers and passersby. Many of our fellow deviants have been suffering from a terrible plague that has began to ravish the pages of this dear place. Accounts are being hacked and used to spread the method, thus increasing the spam, besides the spam; the reasons for the hacks are unbeknown to me, or to anyone I have thus far spoken to.

I have almost fallen victim to this, since my paged has been spammed with these links, luckily my system security prevents such things from happening, but many aren't so lucky.



What I do know, is this. A hacked users account posts on your page, consisting of a message that can vary anywhere between something about an IQ test to someone blogging about your art, Within this link, is the method to which your "password" is stolen from your account, and in some cases, changed thus losing your account.

Deviants, I urge you not to click any link that leads away from deviantART, please report all such posts as spam, to stop the spread. Secondly, change your passwords as often as you can.
