Update your passwords
All,
Given the current spam attack we're under, I would HIGHLY encourage you all to consider change your password to something complicated that you aren't using anywhere else and ensure your recovery email address ALSO has a complicated password. Right now, the attack seems limited to just sh!tposting with broken-up links that likely lead to infected servers, but the attack could morph into user account takeover. Recommend a password of at least 10 characters, 2 uppercase, 2 lower, 2 numbers, 2 special characters, and no keyboard-walking.
Yours truly,
LaMartian

Yeah, that would suck. The Target breach that happened a few years ago happened because an employee downloaded something he or she shouldn't have at work.

I always look at sites I shouldn't. Hell I went to the links from each of the posts here in my tor browser out of curiousity. There are some other sites I probably should go to, but they are a bit on the inappropriate side...
