Hi all...I am writing this to let everybody know here who also has an account on D.A. There seems to be a hacker who has hacked into a lot of our personal I.D.s and is sending viruses all over D.A. My advice to all would be to change your password as soon as possible as this is how it is spread. If you receive a post or a message from anyone saying something like Oh Look at this Click on This...dont do it. Just report it as spam....And in the meantime rush on over and change your password, as viruses are not plesant to receive...

There was a prior post on this, butch...guess you didn't see it, and I'm sorry but I don't have the link. There was a notification on dA as well.

Hope you weren't hit by it!

So only clicking on the whatever from whoever "may" start an attempted hack of your account yes?, so untill that happens it's business as usual & all that needs to be done is delete anything that you don't recognise in the messages box at D.A

If you click on the link in your message, it takes you to a fake login page and that is how they are getting your ID. Just don't relogin if you inadvertantly end up there. The messages are being sent from your recognized friends and watchers, so be careful!

Sounds pretty "phishy" to me.

And Stardock/etc doesn't care.

My response was to that, I said nothing of bashing.  Please stop insisting that someone is targeting you because of your culture, that has nothing to do with it.  I have tried to help you several times, please see your PM.

I'm going to guess that the emails being reffered to are part of the skin watch function here on WC. Once you "watch" an artist's skins, you will recieve a mail telling you that (artist name) has uploaded a skin called (skin name).

Problem is; this mail gets sent as soon as the upload goes through. This leaves us with a link to a skin still in moderation. We get in fact notified often before a mod has even seen the skin!

I'm sure it's confusing to people......I just delete the (sometimes up to 10!!) Emails I get regarding the upload
