A virus is being spread around DA in the four of now two messages.

The first one is : "Someone wrote a blog about you CLICK HERE!"

The second (a newest) : "Hey I just found out who my secret valintine you can to CLICK HERE"

Do NOT! click these they steal your DA username and password and spread to your friends. If you recive any more strange messages report them here and rport them to a DA admin.

It's so obvious that they're spam, I'm not stupid enough to click them unlike a lot of DA users.

I haven't recieved any of them yet anyway but I still know spam when I see it.

I've heard of those! I don't click on them, either. A few of people I know there have those comments.

One of my friends clicked on those, I think... She told me her e-mail account was deleted as well. She had to get a new e-mail account, and inform an admin so they could go into her profile and resend a verification e-mail. Her password was changed, too. I haven't heard from her since...

Thanks for the heads up, FT. :ph43r:
Stay inspired!

If you do get those virus comments on your page be sure to hide them so nobody else will click them.

Indeed. I've posted a journal about this on DA. The fact that they aren't manipulating information on DA means they may have an ulterior motive. After some research from one of my friends, it seems the individual behind this has a total of 37 different scam sites and is based in China. Can't verify this 100% yet, but that's just what several backtracking of the linked scamsites seem to indicate. Our theory is that they may be gaining usernames and passwords from DA and possibly testing those to see if they can gain entry into other sites, (Myspace, Facebook, etc), where the users use the same information for multiple sites... The DA scam is possibly a net in order to catch bigger, more valuable information... Though this is just a theory...
A good pun is its own reword.

thanks for the warning Flash. So far I haven't received anything, and that's always good.
Shockingly, Terazokie seems perfectly fine, all except for the fact that he is both on fire and falling to his death.

That's because only "COOL" people get them. ;)
