Every summer seems to bring something new. Last year it was the spam notes flooding peoples accounts. This year it appears to be some wanker coming in (apparently and supposedly) off a Scientology site, and who's been hacking accounts, posting disgusting pictures, getting artists banned, then leaving a gloating message. I've now heard of two deviantartists, in 24 hours, being taken down this way.

Whats more shocking is that apparently DA hasnt acknowledged the problem. Theres been nothing on the help forum when I last looked, and the artists are getting banned without the ability to defend themselves. The cynic paranoid conspiracy theorist part of me wonders if this is DA covering up a problem rather than doing anything about it (I heard recently that the security protocols on here are pretty lame, and that money hasnt been pumped into security).

I'm waiting to see what happens, but in the mean time I'm trying to save the DA adresses and msn's of people off my watch list, so if something happens and I have to start again I can get back in touch with people...

IN OTHER NEWS
Managed to shoot a Deady Bears version of last months Teddy Bears Picnic photomanips. Also coming up are some new inflatables-themed pics, and some new Quiet Riot pictures. Big comic underway too which I'm very exited about :)

I've contacted the help desk so far, I think a couple of others have too. I wonder if anybody at the top is actually aware of this problem yet...

Well, having done a comic with Tom Cruise being stomped by a giant radioactive My Little Pony, maybe Ive got reason to worry ;)

It is scary, I pay for a sub and to be honest there are aspects here that I'm really not happy about, I shouldn't have to worry about moving all my stuff to a new account if it gets hacked, DA should be able to protect it for me o.o

well now that's something you don't see every day. And this comes at a time when I'm dealing with a scam on Ebay that one of the teams I worked for got into when they bid on a wolf mascot suit coming out of China... got to love people
Agreed- I too pay for a subscription, and if this is happening then I think our money should be going towards making the site safe against hackers...

when you mention scientologists ...makes me think more of 4chan's /b/tards ... their line of work


and your never paranoid until it can be proven they are NOT out to get you... a little healthy scepticism is no bad thing.

Naw, that had nothing to do with sollentology. Still, they got batshit insane if david miscarriage is mentioned (I mean, Miscavvige).


Seriously, though. Their orgs' falling apart. Don't worry :3 just pour MOAR salt on the grevious wound and have fun.
