Phished/Hacked

I've been noticing that some of the deviants are being hacked and most of them are spreading those "fake" websites by going to random deviants profile, leaving non sense and "ridiculous" comments such as:

Hey. this person wrote something about you in their blog [fake website inserted here]

From that, if the deviant clicks on the website the hacker now has information from that user and steals the PW. It also spreads the website by using the hacked deviant's profile (who had clicked on the link) and random commenting other users. So if that deviant random comments to another deviant, the other deviant will click on the link and soon that deviant is also hacked. And of course the same thing repeats from what I said above. I've seen about 10+ deviants spreading this "fake" website causing many other deviants to fall into this trap. True that deviants MIGHT not know that they are hacked, but the only one solution is to change the PW. There's a lot of users being hacked and spreading the site right now and I bet they don't even know about this. This issue is also from other websites such as Myspace, Tagged, Friendster, etc. It is pretty rare to find this type of hacker lurking around on here at DeviantART.

If deviants around here are not changing their PW, this issue might become a huge problem for deviantart. So please guys, change your PW if you got phished/hacked aright? =_= This place is gonna be like myspace or some other site I just mentioned above... And another thing, DON'T CLICK ON THE FUCKING LINK.

Los que ganan todas las batallas no son realmente profesionales; los que consiguen que se rindan impotentes los ejércitos ajenos sin luchar son los mejores maestros del Arte de la Guerra.

if that's the case they have a new website for artists that is pretty new. Its called mangabullet. they seem pretty cool considering i was one of the few 100 to join it while in its beta phase.
