Hmmm... seems like theres a scalliwag aboard Deviant trying to trick you into giving him your account password, via this lil sneaky comment...

"Hey. I think i saw your picture on this website/blog here CLICK HERE"

Whereafter youd be taken to a page disguised as an official deviantART page, where youd be asked to enter your username and password... Now if you do enter those details its known to cause "your account to post replicas of the malicious post on the pages of other users."

Now deviant is aware of this, and heres what they have to say if you have been a victim:

"If you have already filled out the form, please change your password immediately.

We recommend that you do not click on these comments, and that you hide any you receive to prevent this from spreading.

IT is aware of the situation. We thank you for your vigilance and patience."


So now you know!

I clicked above and my antivirus announced that it had a virus and a spy in my Web page and my computer. But fortunately, it prevented and eliminated. But on the other hand, when I am in my page and I want to write a comment. It blocks. I have to extinguish my ordi. Maintaining the nightmare is finished and I changed the password.
